Anecdotally, I had a friend at one of these places in Manhattan, trying to make it out of provisional status (or whatever the next level up on the ladder was). He pulled 15 hours (9am to midnight) Monday to Friday, and 8-10 hours on Sat. His employer was gracious enough to allow them Sundays off, and call it a day as early as 6 pm on Fri depending on workload. ;)

So that was ~65 to 70 hours a week, and I thought it was an insane workload. He wound up leaving after year to take a "normal" finance job in corporate America in another state.

The deception works because the sandwich-traders are generalizing their code to 'work' for all kinds of contracts. This with the intent to just about frontrun anything that matches their pretty broad criteria. Since there's likely multiple predators operating, only the fastest one wins. This doesn't leave time to test individual contracts out locally. Or so the rationale most likely goes
I don't know about you, but I would be ashamed if something I wrote showed up in this article...
No, the user did not consent. They have to be aware of such systems not game it. The intent and the consent have to be clear to both parties. Agreement is about respect not about malice. If an consent is maliciously hidden away, no matter how technically then it's not valid. Law is not binary in these cases, it's all about the circumstance.

I sometimes see stuff like this on my 12 mini. Ridiculous. Almost always it’s a website though.
Net neutrality never meant your ISP would not charge you more for higher speeds to your home. It never meant your ISP would not charge you for pulling more data than some cap, and it never meant your ISP would never throttle data based on content type or data caps.

Those things were never what net neutrality was about.

Net neutrality was about ISPs providing differential pricing or services based on data originator. For example, you ISP charging Netflix extra for every byte from Netflix carried over their circuits, on the threat of blocking or throttling those packets. "Nice place you got here, shame if something was to happen to it. Me and they boys will be around Thursdays to collect."

Most of the fall-out from a lack of network neutrality was hidden behind higher fees for your streaming services. Those fees are unlikely to come down as a result of the restoration of net neutrality because they can instead be added to the streaming service's bottom line. You're not going to notice the rollback even though the loss of net neutrality probably resulted in billions of dollars being taken from the consumer's pockets into various corporate coffers. The market could bear it and the only change is whose pockets it goes in to.
I'm quite sure all the screenshots in the article are the result of adaptive designs being broken due to edge cases. Constraint-based adaptive designs are great, but they have their limits. Unless you have a very simple design it is not going to work on every form factor.
>> But the thing is, ECT really, really works.

According to the article, studies on the subject of efficacy of ECT are few and far between, obsolete and methodologically flawed and there is not sufficient evidence to suggest that ECT "works" (in the sense of improving the patient's condition).
Or Student Driver is a bit more apt.
I used an iPhone SE 2016 until recently and I never really ran into situations where an app was unusable because of this. Also a lot of these design mistakes could be described as “reinventing UINavigationBar or UITabBar, crappy”.

One thing that really annoyed me was doing an accidental shake gesture while typing something. The blocking Undo dialog’s buttons are covered by the keyboard and you cannot do anything but restart the app.
Several people in this thread are trying to find a reason for these practices, but at the end of the day it's just abuse. I started my career in an analyst program at a different investment bank several years ago. People pile their work onto you and your boss doesn't do anything about it because he doesn't want to piss them off. And they abuse you when they have a bad day. In my first three weeks of work, I had one guy threaten to punch me in the face for looking at him. Another guy was worse...he smashed his phone on the desk about two feet from my face to "show me who is boss," occasionally got physical with me, and would routinely say stuff like "I own your soul" to me while I was working.

Sad part is, the abuse happens to everyone so you start to accept it. I saw my boss's boss get publicly humiliated by his boss's boss a couple times. Difference is, the junior guys don't have anyone to whom they can pass off work that rolls down to them, so they just end up doing the work of several others on their team. They're the backstop.

There's no profit-oriented reason for the culture, just like there's no good reason for prison abuse. It simply manifests due to the nature of bullying in a hierarchical culture that rewards imbalanced personalities.
I personally feel like the "Elon Factor" is slowly turning on him as people find him more and more childish and cringy. Would be interested to see how his public perception has changed over the decade.
I wonder if sci hub (and potentially even abandoning certain copyright laws) leads to less publications due to less financial incentives.

I can imagine that nobody is going to write books professionally anymore if copyright laws to protect intellectual property were abandoned.

The "Total EBITDA Margin*" is currently 14%, they expect it to be 31% in the "bear case" and less than that, 30%, in the "bull case". The bear case should be something like 10% margins or even less.

It's a balancing act of security and opennes. Extensions so far had a really bad track record of having too much permissions. They could be detrimental to user's life if an extension can easily grab login cookies/credentials or whatever to your banking if you ever enter it in your own browser.

I think more restrictions should be put on extensions but it's always hard to balance between accesible developers tools to people who know what they're doing and somebdoy writing down the instructions how to circumvent it to lure the user to install a malicious extension in developer mode.
Everybody fits into a 1%.

Why design for vision, hearing, motor, cognitive impairments, older browsers, feature phones, 2g connections, motion sensitivity, unusual input devices, smart watches, tvs, game consoles, low-powered devices, languages other than English?

I don't mean to sound harsh, but I'm very tired of hearing this argument. It's not that hard to accomodate people, especially on Apple devices, they give you all the tools to do this.

A big part of the problem is people just not following the guidelines. If you have a toolbar with buttons that have labels, it’s not going to fit. But if you’re following the guidelines, you don’t have labels and it fits.

If you have a list with a refresh button on the bottom you have to scroll to see that button on a small screen. But if you use the standard pull to refresh control, you don’t even need the button.

If you use these smart hamburger menu overlay or scroll controls, they look bad on untested devices. Don’t use hamburger menus.

Most of the screenshots in this article are from iOS apps that show Google Material Design. It’s not too surprising this doesn’t work properly on Apple devices, the design doesn’t fit and you can’t implement it using the toolkit Apple designed, built and tested to work on all their devices.

Edit:

By the way you don’t even need to get a tiny phone to test this because most of the problems also show up when you increase the operating system font size which you’re also supposed to test.

Let's just make up few number from thin air and lets create 2008 gold rush. Current Tesla P/E is 1,027.86, and current "value" is 628.58B.
Valuation that says it worth more than 6 top automakers combined.
https://www.thedrive.com/news/38485/at-631b-tesla-is-now-wor...

Just to put everything in perspective Toyota makes 11 million cars per year. Tesla makes 0.5 million. Ok we can say there is future value, batteries and blah blah blah... But actually it "worth" more than top lithium battery makers LG Cham (51,8B) and Panasonic (32B).

So, lets cut the bull** lets just say Tesla will worth $30 Trillion and then quickly sell all stocks, and then buy all automakers and battery producers in the world + and a few techno companies like Microsoft, Apple and Google just for the sake of autopilot development?!

Minesweeper but with Colored Mines
I wondered how minesweeper would play if you had differently colored mines so I made it. I think it's at least 3x more fun than original minsweeper so I played it for at least 5 minutes.

Most of the game is naively implemented so the puzzles might be impossible for all I know and the numbers are picked mostly randomely.

Hope somebody has some fun with it!
It’s better this way than listening advice of people who don’t risk their money.
The fate of For All Mankind’s Skylab project was a fun twist, and possibly one of the least realistic. Yes, it has some things in common with what it became in their timeline, but would they have done that? No way.

I live in London as well and what you are depicting is more or less correct but a bit distorted in the general view imho: for example, you can live near the West Hampstead area and be in the city (city thameslink or farringdon thameslink stations) in 20 mins, however a good flat with one bedroom would cost you 1400 (even less after covid) and you would be in a quiet street next to lively areas, well connected and with a lot of green spaces at reach. And this is only an example.
The 2.6-3k flats in the "center" are fundamentally "laziness-scams" for people who don't want or don't like to search for alternatives and are ok with living next to no real green spaces and with the constant background noises of cranes and construction works; the 3k/mo "luxury flat" costs little more than 2k, plus 90? per month of communiting in a nice area in zone 2, you don't need to go to ealing.
Back in the 80s some article was wondering what's up with model railroaders, spending SO much time building their own elaborate worlds to lord over. But then after games like Civilization hit the market, and consumed gazillions of player-hours, funny I didn't see that criticism again.
Unfortunately, that includes Apple's own apps on 6s/7/8 iPhones. For example, the new [double-swipes right] "app library" or "app mediathek" or what it's called in your language overflows into the bottom. Or in iMessage, the context menu on a photo.
It seems to me there are probably laws on the books here in the US that could regulators could use to stop this. For some reason, they all seem to be asleep at the wheel (for lack of a better phrase). I guess they’re prioritizing the company over the public.
Boo hoo. If it bothers you you can just type in the time, the large control got replaced by an enormous keyboard.
You're overthinking it.

It's the other way around.

Apple is saying that the only way to make secure software is remove features that they don't want or don't know how to implement in a secure way.

It's like saying that cars are safer if you remove the wheels.

In your analogy, you are implying that progressive web apps are possible only if they support the smaller set of shared features among all the vendors.

Meaning that a single actor can ruin the game for everybody else.

I think that if a vendor is the only one refusing to support something that is common everywhere else, it's the vendor that is at fault, not the developer.
The power of mind. Thinking you are getting drug is as powerful as the drug itself!
In case people are interested, this video from March 16th gives a good idea of the current state of tesla self-driving: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=antLneVlxcs

I'm not that knowledgeable about Tesla, from what I got they have a "Tesla Full Self Driving Beta" program (which has a terrible name as it isn't fully-autonomous and requires drivers to take over from time to time).

Edit: I'm not sharing this video to say that their program is good or bad, I don't have a dog in this fight and personally do not care about the topic that much. I thought people here would be interested to see how their program behaves in a somewhat realistic scenario. The result seems to be mixed.
The worst thing is they have a great wakeup time picker (not a generic time picker) for the "Bedtime/Wake Up" feature. That this feature, a completely separate alarm clock logic, even exists is insane.

I'm an iOS developer.
The problem is multifaceted.
Designers have completely disregarded these devices. They design for the latest and greatest in Figma and when we implement their design and eventually run it on an iPhone SE of course everything is super crammed, labels overflow into each other, you can't see some text, things just generally look bad, etc... etc...

Our UI code has multiple ifs at this point where we have handle smaller screens explicitly.

As iOS developers stuck into this position we have grown to despise having to deal with smaller screens. It just feels like we can't win.
I think the one thing going for Tesla is early mover advantage - they have figured out what it takes to build EVs at scale and eventually make a profit out of it with a 5 year head-start. In their battery day video, they talk about how they're optimizing every last detail of their tech. They're not just focused on automobile design - they are focused on capital efficiency of their factories. They also have an insane amount of cash to operate at lower margins for an extended period if the market becomes too hot.

The competition is coming but they will probably find it difficult to compete with Tesla on price.
My mom's family follows this convention.
Yes they need and should be native, if you don't want to reinvent OS integration yourself.
A lot of the commentary here is (correctly) on the associate "hazing." But, yes, partners certainly don't just cruise in for a few hours a day either and there's definitely a hierarchy of partners. In my experience, with investment banking there's a fair bit of high-end FIRE with at least some of those who stick it out retiring in their 40s or so.
Both cookie and localStorage are just a way to identify session. Basically:

In both cases GDPR restricts user tracking and allows storing data that's required for domain to function properly.

One of the funniest writers I’ve come across is Daniil Kharms, who wrote absurdist short stories and children's books. He was a victim of the Soviet policies (no doubt influencing his own work) and unfortunately didn’t make it through WW2.

If you like dark absurdist humor, you’ll probably like his work. Here’s one example:

Because of her excessive curiosity, an old lady fell out of the window and smashed into the ground. Another old lady looked out of the window, staring down at the one who was smashed, but out of her excessive curiosity she also fell out of the window and smashed into the ground. Then the third old lady fell out of the window, then the fourth did, then the fifth.
When the sixth old lady fell out of the window, I got bored watching them and went to Maltsev market where, they say, someone gave a woven shawl to a blind man.

Yeah I've seen that one. It's the edge cases which will take a lot of time to smoothen out. Aside from never being able to notice things like someone walking on the sidewalk with headphones on who looks like he's going to cross the street in front of your silent EV. Or a bicyclist hidden behind a bus etc.
Where's the Community-Adjusted EBITDA?
No, my argument is, that 'freedom of speech' doesn't allow everything as the author indicates. Thats not even something i have an opinion on, the law already defines that and i highly suspect that it falls under usa laws as it does for germany.

Like laws going in direction of 'proection of minors'.

I'm not sure if you are allowed to just put a website online which is advocating for pedophility (lets keep the extreme to simplify). But here is where youth laws require you to make sure kids can't access it.

Same goes for GTA, you also have youth laws protecting them.

The author is probably part of a subcultural group of people in their own bubble. I highly doubt that his experience is in any way ever statistically relevant enough and reaches any majority at all.

And just to clarify one thing: i don't care about known fetishes or weird erotica. Let people read and write what they want but its easy to cross lines in fiction you wouldn't dare in real life but starting to getting used to the thoughts, images and ideas.

How do you think would freely advocate that kids should express their sexuality as it is just 'normal'? Kids which are just playing and learning and perhaps lern to touch themselves as a normal growing up process or adults sexualising those kids? No kid needs an adult supporter to learn how to masturbate and there are 1000x more important things for people to learn like taxes before they should learn how to have a very diverse sex live in their adult life.

Don't get me wrong, we do put a lot of stigma on it as a society but its probably better to advocate to the adults and not to minors at all.

Clear line.
Do you have a cite for that? Temperature worked fabulously to stop SARS-COV-1 but I was under the impression that it was fairly ineffective for SARS-COV-2. Giving every school a few thermometers would have been a lot cheaper than installing plexi glass.
That's a significant counterpoint I wasn't aware of, thanks.
You see this in finance, medicine, elite military units

And in distinctly non-elite units too: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-56406948 in fact this is probably a result of that unit trying to emulate what they imagine real units do

Publishers are not paying scientists for papers, they are extorting exclusive copyrights promising exposure and fame, using psychological pressure founded on the "publish or perish" mentality.

They are a big part of the problem, but SciHub is not the answer. We need a free and open source platform for publishing and peer reviewing run by a non-profit organisation, financed as a public project. The big journals would still lure with fame and sell to readers with pre-selection and garnishment, but they can not be allowed exclusive rights.

See: their most important customers are not individual readers, the journals sell bulk access to the very universities they get their content from. A few generations ago they were needed to distribute knowledge, and we are thankful for that, but their technology has become outdated and ineffective. Nowadays their money engine no longer relies on providing access to scientific knowledge, but on limiting it.

They need to loose that power, so society can move forward.
