YouTube is safe in so much as the service will continue to operate. That's no guarantee that your videos will continue to be hosted.

And Gmail is best used with your own domain (@example.com, not @gmail.com). That way when they do kick you off you can use your offline back of messages and repoint some MX records.
>Basically, it's always the UX. If there is a case where the pilot made the wrong decision, something needs to change so if a pilot with similar experience, wouldn't have made that decision with a different UX. Basically force the pilots to do the right decision, always.

That's not realistic. If you think it is realistic, please take a look at the investigation report for PK8303. Some pilots will disregard alerts, override safeties and ignore procedures: there's only so much a system can do to promote good decision-making.

The problem is that everybody wants to build on newest TSMC and maybe Samsung fabs.

Apple outbid everyone (and given their budget, will continue to do so.), so the rest of them are fighting for whatever capacity is left.

TSMC is expanding, but new factories take years to build.

So the issue here is mostly the overreliance of whole world on TSMC and Samsung.
I think debugging interviews (fixing existing code) would give a much stronger signal than the leetcode status quo, and also not really require studying since reading and tracing code is something we do every day.
It's not just speaking audio, but randomly people talking something without muting their mics, noise popping up, multiple mics at the same time resulting in echoes. I mean, It's Congress still they can't manage to mute everyone and then have an operator only unmute someone when they are required to speak? on the other hand, It's also shocking that people aren't familiar that Muting Mic is a good practice.
>they are prescribed opiates at high dosages daily (equivalent to extreme abuse), and doctors think this is acceptable

That's an orthogonal concern. That being said, I don't understand your reasoning.

Firstly, this is opioid abuse. Granted, the responsibility for this abuse falls on the prescriber rather than the user, but it is nevertheless a pathological pattern of use.

Secondly, you've substituted "heroin" for "pharmaceutical-grade opiates" in your argument. The irony is that this supports my position more than yours because it demonstrates that the slope is particularly slippery, even with medical-grade opioids. This point bears repeating: the addictive and toxicological potential of opioid medicine is greater than alcohol. The trend is even less in your favor when we return to the topic at hand: heroin.

I share your concern about opioid-based medication, but this argues against your point.

FAQ: Reinhart, Rogoff, and the Excel Error That Changed History

> Harvard University economists Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff have acknowledged making a spreadsheet calculation mistake in a 2010 research paper, “Growth in a Time of Debt” (PDF), which has been widely cited to justify budget-cutting. But the authors stand by their conclusion that higher government debt is associated with slower economic growth. Here’s what you need to know:

> How big is this mistake?

> Reinhart and Rogoff wrote in their 2010 paper that average annual growth was negative 0.1 percent in countries with episodes of gross government debt equal to 90 percent or more of GDP between 1945 and 2009. Liberal economists have been critical of their work for years (just economists being their usual cranky selves), but now three economists at UMass say Reinhart and Rogoff made several mistakes and omissions. According to the UMass scholars, the “corrected” number is positive 2.2 percent—which means GDP still grows, even when debt levels are very high.

One day, books will be written about the predatory and degrading tactics used by Silicon Valley companies of all types. It is ironic that in an area of the country that prides itself on its own "progressiveness", people are more than happy to grind employees of speculative startup companies into the ground in a effort to raze the competition with free products, while living off endless VC investments.

Google, as it exists now, is the natural outcome of this process.

Maybe but the general argument tends to be that other technical fields have much stricter credentialing requirements. I’d prefer to study for an interview than have to “pay to play” (at least how it would be in the US)

FWIW I don’t personally like them and am general not smart enough to pass them (probably never will be on the level I hear some companies require). I may one day give and try though to pass them though.
Increasing debt also means increasing savings. One person's date is another person's savings.
I agree with your point that it makes sense that he has the best audio. But regarding "in a profession": I believe he still has a day job; I wouldn't call being a youtuber his profession, being a youtuber is a hobby for him.

Don't be too certain about that :-) I recognize the things you mention from my first job, I had a manager / CTO who were like her. (This was a 20-30 ppl startup, high trust, not many meetings)
I think Bitcoin has huge potential right now, even after its recent run up. It could easily 4x to 6x from here, before the next halving. It could also drop by half, but at least the rewards are asymmetric with the risks.

But even though I'm optimistic about Bitcoin, I don't see it as crash-proof except in one crash scenario. It's mostly a speculative risk-on asset that loses value in crisis scenarios. We saw that in the covid crash in March last year as Bitcoin prices tumbled along with other markets.

The one crash scenario where Bitcoin doesn't crash is if Bitcoin is the thing that triggers a crisis of confidence in fiat assets. That's the hyperbitcoinization scenario that still looks improbable, but easier to imagine now than it was a couple years ago.
The explanation here is "sales guy". This is the typical behavior of sales people, don't expect anything different when they invite you to go out.
Not sure why your comment got downvoted, really. I agree, from their perspective it makes sense to give away a half year of service if it keeps the subscriber account active. It increases the odds above zero that the customer will stay even after they have to pay again, it looks good for the advertising stats, etc.

I don't think they're really factoring in the "angry customer" aspect, however, or they'd stop. They turned me from an ambivalent customer who decided the ROI wasn't there, into an opinionated former customer who is willing to tell friends and family the horror show that will happen if they subscribe and then decide later it isn't for them. It's the opposite of good word-of-mouth advertising, and NYT is going to suffer for it. Even if they change their policy today.
Years back, in South Africa, I rented a car with a choke.

The issue wasn't not knowing how to use a choke, but not knowing that it had a manual choke.
Did you know what poly was before clicking?

Did you know Google has hundreds of branded product offerings, so say 12 closures per year is something like 2%, i.e. a 25 year median horizon (=1/.02/2)? https://developers.google.com/products

What period of support would satisfy you? For a "fast fashion/art" vignette like Poly?

Isn't it fun to have ephemeral experiences? You can choose to embrace that aspect of life rather than chastise it, it's all your choice.

Yes a person has to be pretty savvy to avoid building their business on an unstable a Google product, but all fundamental business choices need to be savvy. Let's experiment, move fast, break things, and try out the unstable Google offerings and see how it goes. Or let's do the sure choice and pick only Google Cloud products 8+ years mature. There's an appetite and big market for both which Google can fill, and the mature senior developer can well care for him- or herself.

I'd rather the megacorp allocate our capital towards experiments than not. I'd rather the megacorp keep some of its founding character than do the soulless bluechip strategy of having 50% of its operating budget be selling & marketing expenses for stale maintenance-mode products (not exaggerating, look at some public company financials like Salesforce, which actually I admire lately for their innovation by acquisition).

I like variety. I like fewer restrictions and fewer flavor-of-the-decade norms on self-expression. These are popular values, and I thank Google for materializing them for its employees and consumers.
Another point. If you are outside of SV / California your startup payouts are generally very small.
> We owe ourselves

Well, no. Yes, this is the sum of what everybody owes, which is also the sum of what everybody is owed.

But not everyone is equally on both sides of that equation.

The description of the new direction for 2.0 sounds great, but as someone who isn't using SQLAlchemy currently (I prefer peewee) I'd be curious to see what it looks like without the assumption that I'm migrating from a previous version. I guess that's not yet fully settled?
Which would mean they're at the base using Vonage's services, which I think Vonage bought Tokbox. I still believe that they're probably using Agora thru UDP as someone else mentioned, but I don't know enough networking to really know what that means.

I decided a while ago that I wouldn't study for interviews, and it's served me well. I either know enough to get the job or I don't. Convoluted interviews where I fell on my face weren't necessarily always jobs I would have done badly at, but preparing a "tricky" interview like that with brain teasers and dumb algorithm questions was a strong enough negative signal to tell me I very likely wouldn't like working there much anyhow.

If I go into an interview without studying and fail legitimately on questions that relate to the job (and who hasn't done that?), then it's a good thing because I obviously wouldn't be able to handle the day-to-day work and therefore am a poor fit. :)

Really, to my mind, it's a win-win for everyone.
I think that it is a mistake to call this a UI issue. Its not like a mistake was made because text was difficult to read, or because to check boxes were too close together and the wrong one was checked. Those would be UI issues.

This was an issue of an operations team that just did not know how their system worked. Perhaps the system design could have been better. Most likely it could have been, but if Citi had a team of people using a system responsible for billions of dollars without the competence to use it correctly, that failing goes way beyond the UI.
game estopped shoulda been the title
Very good point. When Islam says that lending is only done as an act of charity (0% interest), it means that we should not have a society that is built on debt. Easy debt means that now you have very large swathes of society enslaved in loans. This is not how to run a proper society.
> It's not even public, you need an invite to use it.

It’s not clear what this has to do with anything, or whether it’s even realistic to say it’s not ‘public’.

All existing users have invites to give out. Part of it is a strategy to manage scaling, but the other part is about building a coherent network.

It’s not obvious that they ever need to change this.

> Regardless, you wouldn't do this as it introduces massive risk to the business and puts you 100% at the mercy of your technology providers (who I hope are currently raking Clubhouse over hot coals for all the cash they have).

I assume you don’t have a startup valued in the billions of dollars, so it seems like both they, and then investors know something about this that you don’t, but I could be wrong about this assumption! Feel free to correct me.

As for being at the mercy of their providers - normally in business these problems are dealt with by using a contract that sets out what the costs will be and what the service will be for some time period. It’s also controlled by there bing more than one supplier, and supplier reputation.

In short, business just doesn’t work the way you are implying it does.

If their suppliers are able to ‘rake them over the coals’, that would be a huge failure of their lawyers, and it would be hugely damaging to their suppliers, who would not be trusted by new clients.

Exposure to suppliers is also a normal risk which is checked during due diligence. That means their investors attorneys would also have failed.
Yeah, it's pretty dumb. Not every company use the "reverse a linked list" questions, but they remain very common - especially for junior hires, where they effectively test that the candidate knows how to practice for interview questions.
>That is a fair statement.

I really appreciate the concession. I'm going to strive to be more like you and actually verbalize when I've been convinced of something.
Except a case like this could so easily have memory, or even a physical toggle switch.

It's not even spending a week studying. For the big tech companies, it can be months.
In my opinion, yes, it is crazy.

I would give everyone a home test - program X or Y in one of languages (L1, L2, L3). And I would watch:

a) the overall quality of the code and documentation,

b) whether the person asked about intentionally vague part of my request,

c) how much of the code was taken literally from StackOverflow or other source and whether the person acknowledged it,

d) whether I received the solution from them in the last hours before deadline or a bit sooner.

This, taken together, would tell me much more about that person than a highly technical and esoteric interview.

>>Wouldn't you agree that the world would be a better place if we had less of them?

There would first need to be consensus as to what constitutes an artificial monopoly. So far the term has been used so nebulously as to encompass any choice or decision made with a tradeoff or constraint that somehow paid off for at least one but few, if any, others. In other words, "They cheated by holding onto a winning strategy / lottery ticket."

>>General computing devices like a phone (unlike gaming consoles and media like your examples).

I fail to see the distinction. The Nintendo Switch is powered by the same SoC that runs on the Android-powered Nvidia Shield. Just recently, the Switch has been jailbroken to run full Android 10. The PS4, PS5, XB1, XBSX all run on x86-64 AMD chips (the former two on an in-house OpenBSD distro and the latter two on a full Windows 10 kernel). Even older consoles like the PS2 and N64 can run Linux (the former as an official feature and the latter as a recent homebrew development). In short, anything in console space has been a general computer for the last 20 years if not earlier. Constraints are imposed onto the hardware and software of these products as a natural consequence of certain physical limitations or by intentional design of their respective companies. Apple's products are, in general, no different.

>> We already know Apple doesn't need the App Store for iDevices to be a commercial success.

What Apple needs to be a commercial success or not is a choice for Apple to make for itself. Apple chose a particular domain to succeed in and succeeded beyond almost every expectation. Absent fraud, it shouldn't be stopped from monetizing it's winnings any way it chooses just because you think the company has "over-succeeded". That on it's own doesn't make the App Store an "artificial monopoly" any more than it makes Usain Bolt "too good" to be allowed to compete in any more races. All of which leads me to question how exactly you are defining "artificial monopoly". What counts and what doesn't?

Power Outages in Texas: An email I sent my principles of economics students
Is it the people or the philosophy? (2017)
I've never studied for an interview. I've never studied for anything. If you know something well through practice and application, that will be obvious. If you don't, then you're probably not ready to work on it. Studying and rote memorization isn't the same as practical experience, and should be obvious to the interviewer.

If you really want a job at FAANG, you may need to study to get past their ridiculous and pointless interview process, but if you want to work anywhere else, just show up knowing what you're talking about from experience.
Snapchat was the same though which is why I jokingly posed the counter point.

Snapchat was just an app to send photos (and later videos) back and forth. Facebook copied it with their Poke app that failed. Maybe the answer is integration with existing apps instead of having a dedicated app? Instagram stories was relatively effective
I've been on both sides of the interview table and I can't think of a better way to test someone's skills than breaking out a coderpad and having them solve a few problems. It sucks. It's a grind. We all know this. Yet if you're an engineer worth your salt, you'll pass a question like the "Valid Parentheses" question every time without having to study for it.

I'm not going to ask you esoteric trivia questions about the Go compiler. I'm not going to ask you to implement a BST. I do have to see you write something because my team has been burned in the past because we hired someone who could talk a big game but couldn't deliver. We didn't have them write code in the interview.

Answer this: would you hire a welder for your construction job without running them through a couple exercises first to see how good they are?
Not really. The Google products I actively use are among those most stable and lasting in the web/apps industry: search, mail, maps, video streaming. I could also count here productivity tools like docs, drive, calendar, keep and so on. I'm much more worried about account bans that seem to be happening to random people. But still not worried enough, it seems, to migrate my stuff and workflow(s) elsewhere.
My "hire me" timeline looks quite impressive despite very few commits compared to yours. Perhaps the scaling shouldn't be so linear.

You seem to be reading too much into my comment. "Having power" doesn't mean that everything is perfect and abuses won't happen.
I don't know why you'd assume you're the outlier. Never mind the differences between physical and psychological dependence and problem use (which can happen without dependence, and one can be dependent but not using problematically), you personally experienced underwhelming withdrawal effects on multiple drugs that don't all affect the same parts of your brain, and some more physically addictive than others (benzos on top of that list). As for your friends, you know about their struggles because they had struggles in the first place. Just as the news doesn't report things when nothing bad happens, it's unlikely that, with the potential of stigmatization and jailtime, most people would volunteer something that caused them no issues but can only cause issues if they let it be known. If I were in your shoes I'd not assume that you and this guy happens to be the outliers, but rather, selection bias, the well-documented history of our drug laws being based on racial panics (Chinese for opiates, cocaine for African-Americans, marijuana for Mexicans, the crack sentencing disparity, et cetera) that happens to fund a lot of the economy via the prison-industrial complex, it's not much of a leap to think that a great deal of the harm linked to drug use is linked really to the various behavior undertaken to hide from detection and not necessarily from the drugs themselves, most of which - diamorphine included - are classified as having some medical use somewhere, although for whatever reason MDMA and marijuana are classified as having none. I think it's not hard to buy into the idea that problematic use is not the outlier because that's been taught to us for decades. But if your personal experience doesn't indicate that, why jump directly to thinking that you're the odd man out?

Quad/hex would be less efficient and heavier for the same performance (range, speed, service ceiling), but yes, more stable. In this mission, I suspect minimizing weight (as a rocket payload to be sent through space) and maximizing range (hop flights on Mars on a limited power source) were a priority. This is also why full size helicopters are almost all single main rotors with a TR.
