Honestly, I think they'd be happier too. They'd have less money and power, sure, but they'd also get less death threats, and a lot of the world (including world leaders) would hate them a little less.

I don't think they would care if Facebook and Twitter were each 1/10 the size of what they are today -- they'd still be billionaires and the companies would still be mind-boggling huge. They only care that the companies are much larger than competitors.

But if he left vice 13 years ago citing "creative differences" and founded the PBs eight years after that is it really irony? Or just a simple case for reading between the lines?
Benjamin Netanyahu was apparently an MIT graduate:

One wonders then if Rafael Reif, who forbade any pro-Palestinian activism that was deemed too "anti-Israel" as one of his first policies after he became the 17th president of MIT, is now proud of this state of affairs.

The larger problem here of course involves what this rabbi wrote about after it was revealed that Mr. Reif had sent a personally signed thank-you note to a fellow by the name of Jeffrey Epstein:

https://web.archive.org/web/20201127110135/https://www.chica...

Thankfully this article lives on in the wayback machine, because it reminds us that the issue here is more than just about their treatment of fellow Palestinians.
They would display numbers less than 1000 as-is, and only start adding the "k" and "m" prefix after the 4-digit and 7-digit threshold was crossed.
I understand what you mean, but I have a natural aversion to blaming the messenger. We're all personally responsible for what we say and do.

He also said:

"You don't concede when there's theft involved. Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore."

"We will never give up. We will never concede. It doesn't happen."

"If you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore"

He can try to play it both ways, but the truth is that he added fuel to the fire he's been feeding for months.
The VP of Eng at my current job routinely takes a week off where he is utterly unreachable (I believe he literally went to amish country last time). The same applies to the rest of the engineering team. It's been the same at my previous two companies as well. No, it's not the norm at companies but there's plenty where that's the case.

In my experience, the US is a place where little is given to you but you can get a lot. But you cannot take anything for granted. If you value vacation then you need to grill potential employers on that point and be willing to take a job that pays less. Most people value money so if you value something different you need to be proactive about getting it.
Due to the people involved, Parler is almost certainly not a honeypot setup by the FBI, CIA, or some other government organization. However some of the details that have leaked out over the last week made me wonder how little of the site would have changed if that was the intended purpose.

> GoDaddy kicked off AR15.com with no reason at all

No, not no reason at all: "In response to content complaints on the ar15.com website, our team investigated and discovered content on the site that both promotes and encourages violence. As a result, we informed the site yesterday that they have 24 hours to move the domain to another registrar, as they have violated our terms of service," GoDaddy told the Washington Examiner.

FWIW, ar15.com is hosted on AWS. GoDaddy was just the domain registrar. I gather ar15.com was temporarily removed from the GTLD name servers because they didn't move to a new registrar quickly enough.
This one is fun: Trump v. Raffensperger, No. 2020 CV 343255 (Ga. Super. Ct., Fulton Cnty.) (https://healthyelections-case-tracker.stanford.edu/detail?id...).

It sounds like a good example, massive allegations of fraud and what-not. But it was voluntarily dismissed. After a Trump/Raffensperger phone conference. Yes, that conference (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/04/trumps-phone...). The Trump team accepted the terms of the settlement from R., that Georgia share information about the election outside the court process in return for Trump, et al, dismissing the suits. (https://www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/45/...).

I can hear the smug smiles.
Yup, and that was on purpose. If salaries were low (like in OP's area), then you'd see this rapid upward pressure, presumably contributing to a change towards the higher salaries you mention. The more relevant bit is probably whether I was way off on the percent split between cash and RSUs.
I'm a European living in USA working for a FAANG. Frankly, my assessment is exactly the opposite from yours.

United States is the country that's most likely to go to shit. All of us wealthy professionals here are sitting on a powder keg of inequality and delusional politics, and nobody will be decoupled from it when it blows up.

I plan to stay for a few more years, then return to my safe North European home country with a solid stash of savings. My kids can go to good schools where teaching is in their native language. When they get older, they can go to free college if they're willing to put in the effort. When I retire, I won't need to worry about exhausting my savings because I've got a home fully paid and a sufficient baseline is guaranteed from the national pension system. There doesn't seem to by anything that would make me want to stay in America — perhaps the worst place on Earth to retire.

> "Attempts to avoid this with ORMs usually replace an annoying amount of typing with an annoying amount of magic and loss of efficiency."

People seem to keep using poorly-designed ORMs or are stuck with some strange anti-ORM ideology.

Modern ORMs are fast, efficient, and very productive. If you're working with relational databases then you're using an ORM. It's a question of whether you use something prebuilt or write it yourself (since those objects have to be mapped to the database somehow). 99% of the time, ORMs generate perfectly fine SQL (if not exactly what you'd type anyway) while handling connections, security, mapping, batching, transactions, and other issues inherent in database calls.

The 1% of the time you need something more complex, you can always switch to manual SQL (and ORMs will even let you run that SQL while handling the rest as usual). The overall advantages massively outweigh any negatives, if they even apply to your project.
I was skimming through it and couldn't really find any smoking gun about them missing any hard deadlines for content removal. If you take a site like Reddit, it can take days before all violent / threatening language is removed from a given thread. A lot of the content AWS uses as exhibits is borderline, so its not as simple as approve some auto filter. I am assuming Parler just took on the scale of weeks to months to fail to remove some bad stuff but it would great to see that in writing to confirm.

Now that's interesting. I have a few dead samsung uSD cards, that I'd check for genuineness, if possible. I suspect they might have been a cheap clone.

I guess too little too late. None of the 4 dead Samsung cards I could find have the V mark (too old for that), required for validation, and they probably started adding support for regular EVO cards just a year ago or so.
My sense is there's a larger US market than a pan-Europe market. If I go from German to France to Spain, I'm almost certainly not going to see the same grocery store chains. In the US, there are regional chains, but also a high proportion of homogeneity. In Europe you have strong national and cultural differences that lead to economies more isolated from the whole. In the US, there's regional differences, but I can order at a Starbucks pretty easily in all 50 states without breaking a sweat.

Maybe why US brands tend to get big in the US and then export overseas? US has a homogenous and large market, which brands can make a lot of money in and develop a solid profitable base. That's probably very hard to do in Europe.

This is all routine. It doesn't matter if it ostensibly helps them, it also actively harms them due to their frequent excessive force, which is more common that legitimate harm to them.

There have been a lot of accusations about the Tether/ Bitfinex relationship, and whether or not they are illicitly manipulating the bitcoin market. Considering the unprecedented bitcoin rally, the fact that Tether 'printed' 2 billion coins last week, and the rapidly approaching court date with the New York Attorney General, I found this article very informative.

I think the writing is good quality, nice to read. And it provides a detailed overview of the whole situation, and the history of how Tether came to this point.
Probably? I don't really know anything about the field at all just seemed fun, I'm purely interested in this from an intellectual standpoint so competing isn't really my end goal just want to understand the systems.

You may want to take another look. Healthcare in the US is twice as expensive per capita as most European countries while the healthcare system ranks near the bottom of the OECD [2, 3] and 11th out of 11 in a recent commonwealth fund survey [1]. For the first time, life expectancy in the US is actually going down.

Even the best area identified in [2, 3] re: 5-year mortality for cancers is misleading as the US notoriously over-tests early on, detecting disease early, but isn't actually more effective at treating the disease, and folks die at the same time as they would in European systems. This naturally makes the 5-year mortality rates look good, but doesn't change the fact you're still gonna die at the same time.

While admittedly cherry-picked, it's also the only developed country in the world where mother's mortality rates during childbirth are rising. A mother is 5X as likely to die giving birth in America as compared to Canada (where healthcare costs half per capita and covers everyone).

Also, consider the median amount of tax collected in the US (excluding private $800/month tax your employer pays to insurance companies on your behalf) is actually higher sometimes than Canada now. The top marginal rates are also higher, consistently. [4]

Nice to see that Apple isn't so big that it doesn't think it has to listen to reasonable/rational public feedback that it is making poor decisions.

Why should poor people without jobs live in New York, one of the most expensive cities? Wouldn't it be cheaper and more effective to pay them to leave, and give them bus tickets to do so?
Paying laborers more does not lead to the kind of inequality we see.

"You can't have low inequality by definition if you decide to start paying one group a ton of money."

Very few of even FAANG-level salaries are high enough to put them in the same bucket as the people who wield power through their wealth. Paying the entire field of SWE laborers even 50% more salary is not going to appreciably change the inequality gap.
I wonder if it would matter if the “service improvements” solely improved GOOG-411 or if the trained neural net ended up in some other Google product.

Like if I call a customer service phone system for Google and they say my call if being recorded for service improvements, the assumption is that the recording is for improving customer service, not that my voice is being used to train an AI that the company can then use to transcribe YouTube videos.

I don’t really have a point other than to help myself think about how to interact with systems collecting my data in the future.
The one Discord server I participate in has channels that only allow one message every 15 minutes or so. I think the userbase is roughly divided in two groups: people who are online all the time and people (like me) who check in a few times a day. It's easier to participate in the slowed-down channels.
Great advice, but I think going for a more mainstream alternative would be a bit more suitable career-wise.
Actual article: new lower price means Apple likely still interested.

If you increase housing stock, there can be more cheap homes for new entrants in the market, meanwhile existing homeowners may still see significant appreciation on their home value, depending on lots of market variables.

Wanting affordable home ownership is not contradictory to growth of home asset prices.

I also think your argument about income inequality is not right. Achieving income equality by suppressing wages and paying below competitive market rates is nothing to be proud of - and largely for professions like SWE, it has absolutely nothing to do with income levels at the low end close to poverty, which is what matters when understanding income inequality.

We should be raising purchasing power and unlocking possibilities for people. That’s the real purpose of reducing inequality.

Otherwise we can just take the trivial solution: destroy all technology and return everyone to subsistence agrarian society. Near perfect income equality, near zero societal level wealth.

The US spends more per capita on Healthcare than many countries with a full public health system, for worse outcomes. It's actually impressive if you look at it from a certain angle.

> rapidly approaching court date with the New York Attorney General

OH MAN! I thought they settled already but I guess this is still on going. Do you have more details on this? I really think Bitfinex's defence is very weak and they could be charged with wire fraud and money laundering.

If what I hear is true then the drug cartels have been successfully using cryptocurrencies and bitfinex to allegedly launder their money and its participants and speculators may have played a role.

I expect many people to face the courts or head to jail.

Inequality doesn’t really matter as much as people think.

What inequality does is ensure that there will always be two markets of consumers: one that needs goods at low prices and one that can afford higher prices for luxury goods.

As long as the lower price market exists, hoarding sufficient wealth guarantees you’ll be able to at least afford the minimum standard of living, allowing you to safely retire. If everyone was wealthy everything would be expensive and then no one would feel wealthy enough to retire.
