I have actually seriously considered it, and this international company is one of the reasons why I joined it because of the opportunity to relocate. US also has much better opportunities for entrepreneurship and other things in my opinion. Simply due to scale of English speaking crowd and of course people there are more likely to buy things.

But it would require coming out of my comfort zone so much. I have a girlfriend here, family, friends and much more.

I have calculated that I could "FIRE" in US so much faster compared to where I live. Especially if I did some years of work in USA and then "FIRE"d at some low cost of living country.

But I think I'm not going to do it for now. Luckily the company pays well in my country too, just not as well. But I do have a lot of regrets that I'm not using my potential to the fullest.

Why do you think US has so many big tech firms compared to Europe and other places? And why is there so much war between tech companies specifically in US?
That's noscript, not uBlock Origin, and yes, uMatrix is basically that but more convenient.
Came here to say this. "Hacker's Delight" is essential reading if you are an embedded programmer working in small spaces.

And by small, I mean writing code to fit on a credit card, transit ticket, or SIM card. (Yes <2KB ROM budgets still exist.)

I feel like Wikipedia (at least English Wikipedia) has long past this, and pretty much keep everything that has even the slightest of notability.

And I have no issue with it. I see this as one of the (big) advantage of Wikipedia over traditional encyclopedia.

(Don't get me wrong, I knew https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability still exists.)
An orderly secondary market could increase 409a valuations and result in a higher exercise price for stock options.

If you're not doing design work (either targeted at print, or for users of high-res displays), I still think 1080p screens are the sweet-spot on laptops. This is different from desktops, where additional pixels can be used to add screen real-estate.

All of those additional pixels require additional battery and CPU power to drive. By contrast, black-levels, backlight-uniformity, color accuracy, and pixel fill can be improved without trade-offs. Most laptops have a lot of room for improvement in these areas, and IMO they lead to a better picture overall versus increasing the resolution. As a bonus, you also get to side-step a ton of unfortunate software weirdness.

And while adding HDR and increasing the refresh rate does come with battery/CPU/software trade-offs, I still think they're more worthwhile upgrades than merely jacking up the resolution on a small screen.

I have no idea whether the Pangolin screens are terrible on these metrics too, I'd just like to see a lot less focus on resolution. It's actually really hard (impossible?) to find an HDR panel that isn't 4K, and IMO that's a shame. We live in a world where Samsung phones run below their native screen resolution by default in order to conserve battery[1], which makes no sense whatsoever. If the native resolution of the screen was lower to begin with, battery life would be even better, and visuals would be improved overall due to lack of scaling!

Cool, I'll believe my lying eyes though and wait a bit.
The secret of democracy is that, even when there are no good options to choose from, people agreed on the solution. Therefore you are not a the whim of a single person or entity and this legitimates the way you live.

As for technology existing only because of Google or some other large company, that's not the case. Google was more innovative when it was smaller. Netscape created the whole browser industry as a small startup. Just let a lot of small to medium size companies compete in the market and split the ones that become so big as to become a threat to the whole ecosystem.
How could one consider Java a scripting language? It's compiled to .class files, has no reasonable interactivity, strict structure enforced upon the code, etc. E.g. the antithesis of what makes us call something a scripting language in basically every category.
Stimulus has a very small surface area, but I find it really enjoyable to use when combined with Turbolinks.

My only complaint/comment is that some of the HTML that I need to generate ends up being littered with so many data attributes, especially when combining multiple Stimulus controllers/behaviors.

e can say with 95% certainty that this 5% of symptoms are caused by the vaccine...

I'm sure the stupid is going to be on full display as this thing rolls out. Beyond requiring doctors, teachers, public school children, etc to take the vaccine if they want to keep their jobs or stay in school, what else can we do to encourage those who are bad at math to take it?
Same. I use the Xresources and scale factor environment variables for my desktop with its 32 inch screen and I love it. It's great. But for a laptop, you get a little crispness on the text, but in general there's no reason to get a 4K display on a 13~15 inch screen. It's not worth all that effort.

This statement ignores the fact that the radar capability put Arecibo in it's on class when it comes to Planetary Astronomy.

The capability to study near-Earth Asteroids and perform radar observations of the Moon and other large objects in our Solar System has definitely been diminished with this loss. Even Goldstone, the next most powerful radar telescope, is 20x less sensitive.

Not to mention the pairing of Arecibo's radars with the LIDAR system and it's HF Ionospheric heater system. I don't think saying Arecibo was not the only observatory in it's class is being rather disingenuous.

Seems like a lot of effort to recreate a mechanism that nature has already perfected. The tastiest protein comes from animals that have natural lives and diets. I'm not convinced a lab can truly compete with the efficiency of the natural process (at least in our lifetime).

We just need to consume less and go back to more natural production of what we do eat.
The Groupon founders took the money and ran before the IPO, so yeah they got it.
> There isn't really much of an analogy here, and on a general note, trying to approach a new problem by seeking an analogy to something we already know isn't really the best way to gain insight: simply put, not everything we are about to see is going to be like something we have already seen, or even close to it.

My analogy isn't meant for people fluent in both Chinese and English that understand the nuances between variants of languages. The analogy is much more informative for people deciding to learn Chinese than your any of your 發/髮 → 发 examples and analysis. Clearly there are distinctions between traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese, your earlier posts contain many valid examples and analysis which are suitable towards a Chinese etymology audience rather than the general English speaking audience who are curious about Chinese. FWIW I'd teach my kids traditional Chinese, but overexaggerating the difference between the two variants is not helpful for Chinese learners.
Ah. I found my macs to have all day battery as long as I didn't actually really use it. So it could kind of happen, but only if I paid a lot of attention. I totally recognize this may not make a diff for everyone, but for me, it's moving to assuming the battery lasts all day w/o me managing it. :shrug:
If you were being at all honest about looking for evidence of transmission from incidental contact, here's an interesting study from Korea[0] revealing COVID-19 transmission in only five minutes from more than six feet away. Indoors, in this case, but an actual bonafide case that suggests airflow is airflow, and being outside might or might not be the magic we all hope it is.

So when Covid-23 is released in March [1], will we lock down all the economies again for 1 - 3 years and work on another vaccine? Will we focus on getting better at making vaccines faster? Seems like a losing battle strategy to me. Healthy people did just fine with covid-19. I see the root cause but I do not see any leadership that will fix it.

I know of only 2 viruses that a healthy human requires prophylaxis shots for and one of those also requires $100k/yr in medication for the rest of the persons life. No, I do not expect to fight those without help. That said, I will not just depend on the bandage of a vaccine. I will grab every CRISPR scientist under the sun.

> The whole process is very random

This is a key insight that people need to understand.

In a 20 year career I've only ever been on the market once (in 2017), and I saw it as a huge opportunity to join the best possible company. I did over a dozen on-sites, and every single one of them was 5 hours plus, sometimes multiple, w/ take homes or phone screens additionally. The results were shockingly random in terms of many different factors ranging from familiarity and fluency with the class of problem, to the style of the interviewer, to the order of the interviews and how exhausted I was by the end. The outcomes in terms of offer/no-offer also bore little relation to my perception of how the interview went.

I think this doesn't sit well with people (especially technical people) because they want things objective and fair. However standardizing process and addressing biases only gets you so far because at the end of the day interviewers and candidates are all unique. Success in a role is highly dependent on context that one operates in.

Honestly I don't think the hand-wringing helps anyone. At the end of the day you have to just play the game. Hopefully companies continue to employee a variety of different interview techniques, because they all have different biases and so the best thing is just to ensure a diversity of techniques so everyone can find their place.
>why Y Combinator doesn't look for exploitative people so therefore this must not be true.

I have a dim recollection of an article many years ago that Y Combinator asked applicants a time when they gamed the system and the answer to that was on of the most correlated to success. Like saying you knew some technology that you didn't on a resume or selling some product that you hadn't built yet. They framed it as a positive. Finding opportunities and using them to your advantage. But a negative framing would be that they were looking for people that exploited whatever advantage they oculd find.
absolutely, but that hardly means OPs approach of "just fk it" is sane advice
the article suggests to "Allow only verified users to post videos" which seems like the sensible thing to do.

In fact, it should be gov't mandated regulation on the industry.
I think FHD is plenty fine for subnotebooks (<= 14"). WQHD is ideal for full sized laptops, but the problem is that most laptop vendors have to depend upon what display manufacturers are building.

Most of the display manufacturers are building 4K for marketing reasons (few people outside of gamers really know about WQHD) but those displays consume too much power to replace FHD across the board. An intermediate resolution between FHD and 4K might be more expensive at this point.

LG, which makes their own laptops and displays, did it right with their 2560 x 1600 laptop panels.

Timinit has been showing her aggressive side without much self awareness for a long time. Instead of relying on her research work and data, she routinely try to shut down the opposite side's "matter of fact" statements.

In contrast, the proclaimed "bad" guy, Jeff Dean, never do that. I know a co-worker who is level 4 engineer, reviewing Jeff's code changes, with Jeff never show a slight hint of his status. At the moment Jeff is level 11 engineer.

If Timinit could be that patient, then given enough time, she will make impact equal or beyond Jeff as in pure engineering. Instead, she tried to let loose her emotions.

Her continue staying at Google and the ethical AI research community would become a long term risk and overall negative factor, given the trajectory. That's my pessimistic prediction.
Ask HN: Anyone working on improving face masks to accommodate hearing impaired?
I have been having issues understanding some people on the news who are wearing face masks while on camera. This is partially due to not seeing their mouths move but also because their speech seems to be muffled by the mask.

I have not had my hearing tested as before face masks were being worn, this issue had not presented itself.

I think this might be a common problem and was wondering if anyone is working on a solution or has any ideas of how to resolve this.

I am also concerned about what I may be missing in real life conversations due to mask wearing.
One great question to ask and be prepared to answer: What is the most important aspect of this idea that you don't know?

It's as important to have thought about where you need to focus and and the consequences of not addressing it, as knowing what the potential upside is for the idea.
I personally know people that work very hard 12 hours a day and their output is stellar. Not only are they creative, but they build some of the most amazing systems I've ever come across in record time. They're handsomely paid with equity and monetary compensation.

> I wonder where the stereotype of scantily-clad leather-fetish armor for barbarians actually comes from

Hollywood and media. Most modern stereotypes around the world are created by hollywood and the media. Whether it is of the cowboy/indians, soviets, north koreans, french, the south, etc.

As for why they are scantily-clad, probably because we associated clothing with wealth/civilization?
But what is the conclusion we are meant to draw from the historical comparison? Accusations of belligerence have been thrown around many times in history - Soviets accusing NATO, the Allies accusing the Axis, the Axis accusing the Allies, North Korea accusing NATO, pretty much everyone accusing NATO... NATO accusing everyone else... ;) Virtually every pair of groups that don't get along exchange accusations of aggression.

In order for the comparison to be informative, it must also be accompanied by some argument about whether or not the accusations are accurate, which sort of takes us back to the original question.
I think the point was that there isn't an objective world in the classically understood sense, and our refusal to accept that since it was discovered a century ago has no bearing on the truth of it; I'm not suggesting the language and imagery were perfect, but the chair example was clearly accompanied by an equally illusory "you" sitting on it.
That's what I was implying would be desirable, but it's political suicide. Cue pic of creepy looking high school senior - "Senator Scumbag wants to go easy on sex offenders".
Electron has always been redundant, the approach daemon + local browser has worked since browsers exist, and then there are web views anyway.

The problem is that those approaches require the developers to actually care about what browser the user has installed instead of pushing Chrome everywhere.
The industry is cyclical and to be forward thinking all you have to do is describe what's already happened and assume it will happen again. ;-)

The things being done with JavaScript today are not new, nor is the idea that a server and client would coordinate to run interactive apps. That fundamental concept has been reimplemented in many different ways until we've landed on the current rube goldbergian monstrosity that are web apps.

It shows that the desire to have users interact with a service in particular ways will not go away. The technology used to do that is mostly irrelevant.
For every small business that treats their employees well, there is another hiring and abusing people with limited options such as undocumented immigrants and felons.

I would also claim that keeping taxes in the local economy, while a very worthy goal, does not require the presence of small business. Big business can be made to support local community and culture. Just because the Walmart headquarters are outside of my small town, doesn't mean they don't have to pay a percentage of their earnings from the local warehouse to that community.

Also, minor grammar nit, you may have meant to use "shell-shocked" instead of "shellacked", but shell-shocked wouldn't fit the context you're going for either.

This is great! Thanks for the reference.

There are some interesting methods to solve these kinds of "recursion" equations, especially when the integral operator, M in this paper, has the given properties (e.g., spectral radius < 1).

For example, if M = A + P, where A and P are two other operators whose inverse, for example, is fast to evaluate, there are a certain number of iterative splitting methods which work extremely well and can exploit this structure for very fast convergence. I'm sure people have looked at this and similar ideas, but I have not seen many references as far as I know.
When the books are done, there is another ending. I would assume that they remake the ending then.
When I see someone working long hours I always think that either this person must be very disorganised or should move to a less exploitative company. I don't see it as honorific at all (I live in the UK).

Oh, I'm not afraid of reports of heart attacks a week after being vaccinated. I'm afraid of developing cancer 2 years later, which another 2 years later will be confirmed to be side effect of the vaccine. That's why normally clinical testing any drug takes years - to give long-term adverse effect the time to show.

And don't tell me there's no risk - Pfizer and others deem the risk high enough that they demand legal protection from liability before selling vaccine to anyone: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/coronavirus-pfizer...
The bit about all the deletions seems to me the most relevant/important criticism in the piece. But, even as someone who is much more inclusionist than deletionist, it's a hard problem. The rules don't really help except at the extremes. And notability, as you suggest, is very context and scope dependent.

I have peers in my field, executives at major companies, journalists who have bylines pretty much every days, book authors, etc. who are quite well known in the context of my field or at least a subset of it and are easy to verify--but I'm guessing that many articles about those subjects would be somewhat arbitrarily deleted for lack of notability.

It depends.

You can't, if:

1. you have a chronic illness that requires a good healthcare plan to be treated affordably

2. you have a large family

3. your student debt is larger than average

4. you have a large mortgage

5. your have other financial liabilities you can't afford to handle without good paying job

6. you have no retirement savings or they are insufficient

I do love seeing all the other pebble people show up whenever smartwatches come up as a topic. After a few years of looking into smartwatches (and working on my own ATTiny/ATMega/ESP32 smartwatch project) I finally bought a Pebble Time Steel this spring. I had expected the Pebble hype to wear off after a bit, but so far it's lived up to pretty much all of my expectations.

I don't even have a Rebble account yet, but it's surprised me how much still works and how much use I can get out of it in my daily life.
