I don't know anyone with a non-compete in Europe. I'm sure some exist, but they are exceedingly rare and expensive for the employer as they'll of course have to pay compensation for the non-compete period.
> The special thing about the V100 is that it's driver EULA allows data center usage.

Wait what? Is it the only thing?

That sounds hard to believe: if true, using the open driver (Nouveau) instead of Nvidia's proprietary one would be a massive money saver for datacenters operators (and even if Nouveau doesn't support the features you'd want already, supporting their development would be much cheaper for a company like Amazon than paying a premium on every GPU they buy)
They already have a "system recovery mode" where no such firewalls run, and only select system tools are available. There's also "safe mode".

"Similar performance" still means 30%-50% slower [1] and half the RAM, not really that comparable.

For much closer performance you should get a 2080ti, which should be roughly comparable in speed and have 11GB [edit: wrongly wrote 14GB before] of memory (against the 16GB for the V100). Price-wise you still save a lot of money, after quickly googling around, roughly $1200 vs. $15k-$20k.

But you still lose something, e.g. if you use half precision on V100 you get virtually double speed, if you do on a 1080 / 2080 you get... nothing because it's not supported.

(and more importantly for companies, you can actually use only V100-style stuff on servers [edit: as you mentioned already, although I'm not 100% sure it's just drivers that are the issue?])

[1] I've not used 1080 myself, but I've used 1080ti and V100 extensively, and the latter is about 30% faster. Hence my estimate for comparison with 1080
That's about 49300 miles a year, or about 200 miles a day if you drive five days a week, 50 weeks out of the year. That's a lot of driving. What has pushed you to be driving so much?

>> B2B people are always the first ones to let go

I think you might be mixing two different things here: contract type and job type.

Yes, sometimes companies have spikes in demand, for example a project that's delayed and they want to temporarily add some new people. Of course they will use contractors for that, and then those contractors will be let go. But that should be communicated clearly during your job interview, that the role is only temporary.

However, many companies seek people for a long term jobs, and B2B vs employment contract is simply the matter of tax optimization. I know contractors working for the same company for 10+ years. They are definitely not the first to be fired.
Yea. And they are freaking fantastic.

Thinking of them as waves helps your intuition for entry-level QM phenomena like the dual-slit experiment and other lab-scale interferometry experiments.

Unfortunately, I would say it doesn't help (and could actually block you) when you want to build intuition around QFT and high-energy processes.

In your mind, you would still then think of a photon as a wave running around interacting with electronwaves that then oscillate and produce new photon waves.. and you'd think for example that "hey, I can just solve the wave equation and I solve the experiment".

While it's really so much more messy, as you'd note when you start considering the number of degrees of freedom involved required in your simulation to approximate reality. It's not classically interacting waves timestepped forward in time, it just looks like that in the most trivial situations.

The US has around 150000km of shoreline.

There are roughly 350M inhabitants, but only about 120M households.

If you want to give everyone a house with a view of the ocean, with plots 10m wide, you need to build them around 8 deep to give everyone a view of the ocean.

It may be easier to do if you stagger the plots.
> ironically, most of these companies are out of China

Of the three companies named:

- Google's user-facing services (search, email, app store, docs, ...) are blocked, but Google Ads (which are censored) and Android (which comes without any content that would require censorship) are still sold.

- Microsoft: I'm not aware of any of their products being unavailable. Windows is the dominant desktop operating system in China, and I'd be surprised if the app store wasn't censored. Bing search results are definitely censored (they tell you so at the bottom of the page).

- Amazon isn't selling much that could run afoul of censorship, except possibly books (remember when Amazon used to be an online bookstore?) but in China their market is mostly targeted at the niche of high-end imported goods. (Note the country-of-origin indicators on https://www.amazon.cn/ )

I’m SWE for 10 years. I started with very low salary, and I’m about to start a new job in next month and be at the very top (7k euro net, monthly).

TBH I do not need that kind of money. I do it for new challenges that come with it. I live with my partner, we both had our higher education for free, we plan no children, and we both have 80k euro in our saving accounts.

Why would I need to earn more? I would prefer to pay more taxes so everything is growing more evenly - less poverty = less crimes, more happiness.

> Everybody earning more will just lead to more inflation.

Normally we measure wage growth adjusted for inflation.

In my case I referred to wages as share of gdp, which has been going down over the last decades. There is no reason that shouldn't at least be a fixed amount. If it's not, it means that people who make money outside of wages (shareholders etc.) are capturing a steadily larger part of the total economy.
> I wonder how it spread globally considering social media wasn't a thing in the early 2000s.

The terminology changed (up into the period when FB became doninat, the term was usually “social networking” rather than “social media”), but the category has been going strong since the late 1990s.

But non-“social networking” web pages, email (including mailing lists), usenet, were also in play. Widespread communication via the internet didn't start with modern social media.

This was a person I only interacted with at work (or at work functions).

>Texas is now the number 1 oil producer in the world

That make no sense at all. It is like stating "the US make the most car tires and hence must have the most rubber trees".

The argument is about access to oil reserves. The US emptying its oil fields faster than anyone else is not much of an argument. Looking at how many years of oil is left in the ground at the current rate of usage the US has less than 10 years left. Kuwait has not only twice as much oil as the US it also has almost 100 years left at the current rate of usage. Combine that with Iraq's also close to 100 years the US is in a very bad position. Had an enemy of the US 100% control of all that oil it could quickly become a problem. For example if OPEC either raised the price or stopped selling oil to the US the US war machine (and all of US society) could grind to a halt.

Now the biggest known oil reserves are in Venezuela. I wonder what that will do to Geo-politics....
It's economic productivity, not worker productivity - so it has more to do with the circumstances of the company in the market than the employees.

The companies are bigger with much larger market share (often a significant fraction of the Earth's population) and benefit from the economies of scale that go with that - it's not like Facebook needs a million times more employees than a tiny web service a fraction of its size - tech work benefits massively from scale.

I'd argue the USA has these large companies for various reasons (the start-up environment with lots of VC money, supportive universities etc.) and dominates Europe because Europe doesn't engage in protectionism.

In Russia and China, where protectionism is much more common, the American tech giants are nowhere near dominant and they have their own local giants with Baidu, Yandex etc.

>Most urban americans live "richer" lives today than the rich did 150 years ago.

This "richness" is also relative: If you own a goat in a village with no goats, you're rich. If you own an apartment in a village of McMansions you're poor.

And let's not mistake comfort with wealth. Just because I have electricity, a WC, a fridge and don't plow the fields like my grandparents did might make me seem rich, but my grandparents owned that land they were plowing while I don't own the "land" I am "plowing" at my comfy deskjob, but the corporation does, nor do I own the land I live and sleep on, but the landlord/bank does.

Our lives are now much more safe and comfortable than 150 years ago, but in the end, most of us who are not asset owners, are set to be serfs for life, just like 150 years ago except that instead of being serfs to a crown we are serfs to banks and publicly traded megacorps.

The situation is very odd because the inequality graph is a lot steeper than anyone is willing to believe. For the UK, look up your salary on here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/percentile-points-f...

If you're a SWE on a half or even a third of an SV salary, you're still in the top 5%. Do you feel rich? No. Are you easily able to buy a house in the southeast early in your career? No. But for every person earning more than you there are twenty earning less than you.

The number of super-rich dominating the conversation, the political donations, and the housebuying is surprisingly small, and most of them make far more from investments than from salary. Actual income for "work" caps out at a few million for celebrities and sportspeople.

Even among the ordinary I know people who've been out-earned by their houses - that is, the annual rise in the value of their (mortgaged) house was more than their salaried income.

I think how often you change jobs depends on the challenges and type of work. My first project was over 10 years from start to initial release.

I don't think switching jobs is that necessary if you can be challenged in your current job. Ever changing problems are exactly why I'm staying. I tried switching to do some web work in a couple of places, but found that I really hated it and that most things in the "web stack" are just crud and it's really hard to find really hard or complex problems in the space (Where the complexity isn't in something tangential like ops/configuration/scaling...). I'm an engineering/math type person so it's a bit scarce.

I keep a constant lookout for new jobs, but I filter out 99% of positions simply because it looks like generic web tech jobs.
Personally I'm fine with Google and Amazon doing this. AWS isnt the only web host and you can sideload apps on Android.

Apple on the other hand is a lot more murky due to their lockdown of app installs. I don't believe they should be made to host things they don't agree with but people should not be prevented form installing whatever software they want on their own hardware.

For the record I am a staunch free speech advocate but fully believe that no-one (no-company either) owes you (the royal you) a place to use your free speech on their property.
The Pentium 4 to Core 2 Duo leap was based on architecture, not fab tech. It was a very significant shift in chip design philosophy. Intel being ahead in fab tech didn't hurt, but it's far from their only strength.
There's no reason to believe M1 will open any sort of gates for Arm on PC. It's not like other Arm CPUs will be running Mac OS, or M1s will be running Windows. The whole pre-Intel period for Mac OS didn't do anything to diminish x86 on the desktop.

Now, Chromebooks are something of an argument for ARM on the desktop, as they at least seem to provide identical behavior regardless of ISA, but they aren't putting up the necessary numbers quite yet. x86 still owns PC gaming, and has a pretty solid hold on console gaming. I'm not going to be worried at all for Intel until that shifts too.
Your IP address can be any 32 bit number you choose if you don't have DHCP choose it for you. But, the routers will only forward and respond to addresses that have been correctly configured. There are conventions, standards and protocols that define what addresses are valid and how they should be used. In a lot of cases, invalid IP addresses simply get dropped.

AWS can really sting you. I've completely stopped using it for private projects after receiving a $100 bill for something I accidentally provisioned through the command line.

Not only is it very easy to spend real money by accident, the web interface makes it incredibly hard to work out what you're spending money on (it took me a long time to even understand what I was paying for, and then longer still to turn it all off).

Even if you know what you're getting in to, the pricing is very misleading. A few cents an hour adds up if its running 24/7, and its never obvious whether you're in the free tier or not.

If you don't have deep pockets, be very careful with AWS.

I reckon the studios cooked their goose. They started having an outsized focus on big budget blockbusters, given the enormous investment required they preferred to stick to safe bets such as existing franchises and crowd pleasing story lines. The age of streaming means they need a lot more content, I believe there's a massive market for medium budget movies at the moment. Aside from Netflix's studio, who are ahead of the curve, the rest of the studios have been caught with their pants down and are scrambling to deal with the fallout, that covid fast-tracked.
