Yep, see, a proven prior track record: "The team behind the sensation Cat Game: The Cats Collector!" It has a 4.9/5.0 rating and 83,000+ reviews on the iOS store and 4.4/5.0 and 64,000+ reviews on the Android store. They made a super popular game, so raising money for their next game is much easier for them.

Edit: Just realized my wife used to play this game, even. She doesn't play that many mobile games, but she's played this one. She's not even a cat person, but a dog person.

It's very hard to compare European and US salaries: in a lot of European countries, you have social security, unemployment and retirement coverage provided by the state and financed by taxes on the salary.

So you have a much lower net amount of cash, but you get real benefits that would be part of your negociation in the US.
Author here. I wanted to dig a little into data from the Stack Overflow survey on what made programming languages loved or hated and I think what I found is pretty interesting: it seems like people don't like the languages where they have to do maintenance work.

Python and C# seems like outliers here though. People really love them.
I think the vertical resize of the "before" is the wrong one. Shouldn't it be also resizing the window next to it?
“So what exactly is curl?”
Why, yes. Yes, it does.
I'm sure it's not you. It's just the supply and demand problems in the industry that make companies picky. Actually, there are a lot of people doing data science for corporations who feel disillusioned because most of the data science jobs are in fact not science, instead, those are just grunt works. If you can go to a prestigious university in Russia (a country with prestigious math education), you can definitely be qualified for those jobs - again, it's just a supply and demand thing.

I would suggest you not only try to work hard, but also keep an eye on connections - maybe try to find someone who graduated from the university to get referrals. Or you can also try fallback to work as web developers or any skill that is popular in Russia. I don't believe all of them require CS degrees. Try to grab some skills in those fields etc. If you can provide value for them, I see no reason not to hire you.

Also, for the "I have trouble focusing" part I advise you to try to see if you have ADHD. Though unfortunately, I assume similar to the country where I live, Adderall as the best medicine might not be available in Russia.

Please forget about IQ and Mensa, those puzzles mean nothing, as those are not only extremely narrow ways to look at intelligence, but also gameable like interview problems.
You should maybe take this as a lesson to not try to speak authoritatively about things you are ignorant about. If you don't know, offer speculation sure but statements like 'almost certainly' and arguing all up and down the thread from a position of ignorance rightly earn you downvotes.
Nobody is likely to have made money from Theranos - it went bankrupt. Maybe there were some isolated cases of private stock sales by early investors, but this doesn’t normally happen with big investors, as it’s a sign of no-confidence in the company, so major investors can’t do it without harming the reputation and value of the company, including the value of the stock they’re trying to sell.

For anyone building a React site that wants a solid responsive UI framework that makes it easy to adapt to multiple screensizes, I highly recommend Chakra UI: https://chakra-ui.com/

It allows you to set width and height units (as well as any other CSS style) for each component using an array or object to describe how the component should render for each screen width (as defined by you). Also has built-in React hooks for responsive variables.

I've never had a better experience building responsive sites.

I think most of what the author is complaining about is bad responsive design. Media queries, by themselves, are a powerful primitive, but they get harder to work with and balance the more complex your site gets. Better tooling helps!

Of course my sample size is limited, but except in some rare circumstances where I live (Munich) people don't just buy or build a house before they're 40-50 unless they got money from their parents. Even with a job in tech. The pay absolutely looks great when viewed from a perspective of having less, but if you're actually saving up for a house and want to stay here and not live somewhere remotely, it's really hard.

But this is one of the most expensive cities. You can be lucky and be living in a small town 50-100km outside and if you don't have to commute daily, it's completely reasonable to buy a house (on rates) in your late 20s.
You’re probably in the wrong game. These jobs are dead end traps even for the shockingly brilliant. Your success will depend on your ability to commit to one field of inquiry and learning for the next 20 years. Once you have decided, try to get any job at the least competitive place with the most interesting ambitions.

The other thing to know about these interviews is that most of the people that they hire can’t pass them. Sometimes they interview looking for that shocking brilliance, but mostly they just hire whomever they think they’ll get along with best. Several of my absolute worst students got jobs at ‘the top place’ which rejected others I know that have IMO medals.

It’s possibly that you didn’t fail, and are obviously way smarter than the interviewer. Look at the incentives. They get negative utility for hiring somebody better than themselves. Only at a very small startup does it benefit anybody to hire up.
I think people understand 30-fold to mean 30x, but don't always intuit that "slashed by 30-fold" is equivalent to a reduction by 97% of the original deal. They especially don't understand that the difference between a 20-fold, 30-fold, and 50-fold reduction is the same as a 95%, 97%, and 98% discount.

This is especially evident in the mental gymnastics required to understand retail sales pricing. How good is a "Buy two, get one 50% off!!" deal? Brains easily give up on the hard questions and substitute easy answers. "What's it actually worth? Bought one at another store last month, do difficult pricing history memory, or easy answer, the original price is listed right there. How good is the deal? Complicated math, or easy answer, it's at least a good enough deal to merit a big sign, bright colors, and two exclamation points. And it's good for a limited time only? Better not miss out, buy now!"

Here, the scope of the reduction is kind of irrelevant. They basically scrapped the old deal and tried to write a new, smaller one. Had they scrapped the megafactory plans and decided to open a fast food franchise it could have been reduced a million fold!

The new agreement offers $80M and asks Foxconn to spend only $672M on a factory that will employ only 1,454 people by 2025. The original deal offered Foxconn $2.85B (or $2850M) to spend $10B ($10000M) and hire 13,000 by 2032. Big numbers are hard, but running the math it's now $55k/job and $0.13/dollar of capital investment, it was $220k/job and $0.285/dollar. $80M is 2.8% or a 30-fold reduction from $2.85B, but the full story is they've simultaneously reduced the ratios of the incentives and the scope of the required investment.

A complete understanding of what those numbers mean is really hard to develop, and isn't really distilled by a substitution in the headline of 30-fold to 30x. Human brains in general are busy and don't like to work too hard, and whether we use "30 fold" like "four score" in our daily vernacular or they say 97% and 80, the headline's effect is the same. It conveys to readers who don't want to run all the numbers about average salaries and payroll taxes and capital depreciation and so on that the previous administration tried to offer an excessively generous deal but the current government has rolled that back to something a lot smaller, don't worry about exactly how much but just trust that it's a lot.
You can find absurd behavior during corner cases in nearly any non-trivial language. YAML is a great language when you need to represent objects in something universal and human readable/writable. Not perfect of course, but TOML's limitations can turn stuff into a monstrosity with it's limitations. Ansible inventory files come to mind here.
Let's do some simple (and probably wrong, but hey) maths:

- House price: 450K euro

- In Europe you usually need around 30% of the house in cash (20% for down payment and 10% for paperwork and the like). This means you need 135K euro saved. Saving 18K euro/year => you need to save money for 7 years

- Now you get a mortage for the 70% of the 450K euro (315K euro). Now depending on how much you want to pay every month, we get different outcomes. Let's say you are willing to pay 1500 euro/month of mortage: this means (roughly) you will be paying your house for around 17 years

- This all implies you will be earning 60K euro (or more) per year over the next 24 years of your life. Let's say you are at this moment 25 years old, so you'll get your house paid when you are 50.

This is the panorama for people who are supposed to be the top 10% tier in the society (in terms of gross income) in a country like Germany (but applies to any other western European country as well). Not bad, but not good either.
I am always struck at the amount that states and municipalities are willing to write off in order to attract companies. On one hand, I understand that companies want to take the best deal, but on the other hand, at times local governments are willing to give up so much money in tax revenue. I remember reading about the competitions for Google Fiber and Amazon's second HQ - it felt absurd the amount cities and states were willing to drop, financially speaking.

I'm glad this one has been renegotiated (especially seeing that the proposed plant never happened), but I'd like to see these deals be more level-headed before they get to this point.

But these same arguments could be used against gold. And yet gold serves a valuable purpose in the economy as it allows people to take more investment risks.
Ah, yes! But that applied to the internet as a whole, rather than individual forums.
It seems to function just fine (I'm not talking about Proctorio), and it doesn't invade privacy any more than the Zoom-based tutorials, which is barely at all. It is also better than any other alternative I know of, many of which have been tried already and found wanting. Privacy is not a god to whom all things must be sacrificed. All education involves losing a little privacy (in person people will know what you look like, where you're from, and many other things that are hidden for remote students; really they have more privacy than any others), and the fact that software is involved doesn't suddenly make things worse.
At least in Sweden they have made the rules around getting a mortgage stricter and stricter over the past 4-5 years. The income requirements have gotten stricter, they're requiring that you put down more money up front and that you make larger monthly principal payments.
Agree. White collar workers are mostly working from home. But everyone is out and about (mostly wearing masks). Most fast food restaurants have their dining rooms closed, but plenty of sit down places.
It’s possible that some institutions are dictating blanket use of software, but where I am studying that’s not the case.

It’s basically up to the instructor on how to run the class.

Some require proctorio, some are on Zoom with lots of TAs to watch the screen, some issue an exam on your own time where the browser monitors what you do / visit, and others just offer take home projects.

> As far as I'm concerned the University of Minnesota did a public service here by facilitating a mildly sophisticated and ultimately benign attack against the process surrounding an absolutely critical piece of software. We ought to have more such unannounced penetration tests.

This "attack" did not reveal anything interesting. It's not like any of this was unknown. Of course you can get backdoors in if you try hard enough. That does not surprise anybody.

Imagine somebody goes with an axe, breaks your garage door, poops on your Harley, leaves, and then calls you and tells you "Oh, btw, it was me. I did you a service by facilitating a mildly sophisticated and ultimately benign attack against the process surrounding an absolutely critical piece of your property. Thank me later." And then they expect you to get let in when you have a party.

It doesn't work that way. Of course the garage door can be broken with an axe. You don't need a "mildly sophisticated attack" to illustrate that while wasting everybody's time.
Then don't write any dates down. It is a basic communication skill to avoid sending out a spreadsheet with dates on it when you know those dates are not expected to be met. Someone reading it is going to assume that there is a problem if tasks are not completed by the date on the spreadsheet.

> The disabilities are varied: dyslexia, visual or auditory processing disorder, obsessive–compulsive disorder, sensory processing disorder, autism spectrum disorder, Tourette syndrome, or any other disability interfering with the student's ability to learn effectively in a traditional environment.

The “traditional” learning environment has never been engineered to be compatible with what we scientifically know about how people learn.

Therefore, this should be reframed as what it actually is - “a disadvantage in the context of a specific competitive environment”
Ah well, if English is not your primary language I suppose I could have been a bit harsh. I'll give one example and expand. You wrote:

>No country has a benefit of allowing bitcoin.

which is absurd to anyone who's heard the first argument in favour of Bitcoin. Cryptocurrency allows reliable recordkeeping of transactions without a bribe-able human in the loop. Therefore, it allows default transparency and reduces corruption. Every government gains a benefit from allowing that. As for Bitcoin specifically, in multi-country deals it offers a neutral currency that neither party has more control over. Among other things this allows loans to be brokered without a risk of either party manipulating the supply of currency in which the loan must be repaid. It's a huge benefit to most countries to have a tool like that available. These are very basic arguments in favour of crypto. You seem highly informed on the subject by how much you have to say, but it's unlikely a highly informed person would have never encountered them. Therefore, you give the impression of being dishonest or at least uninterested in the other side's arguments.

Just a note in general, there are various manuals online about how to control the narrative around contentious topics. One method commonly outlined is to provide lengthy, slightly rambling opinions for one side. The lengthy nature of these replies makes them difficult to thoroughly argue against, if they're copy and pasted it actually takes more effort to read them than to write them. This causes many people who could argue against them to decide it's not worth the trouble. Neutral or uninformed parties then see a large amount of intelligent-seeming text in favour of one side of the argument with no responses, and conclude that the side posting these large text blocks is correct without themselves evaluating the content.

Now, brevity is obviously more difficult in a non-native language and I have sympathy for that. You might have noticed my own writing has a similarly wordy tone, and most people struggle with saying a lot with few words. I just hope it's worth knowing there's a pattern of malicious action that your comment resembled.
I thought you were referring to Tapland's report "I remember the doctors asking me after partial removal of a brain tumour if I remembered them waking me up during the surgery" when you said it "would probably be by far the worst agony you'd ever experienced."

Accidental awareness during surgery has always sounded massively traumatic to me. Even thinking about it makes me intensely uncomfortable.
Yeah, the traffic is starting to suck again!
>Charging cars is a great application even though cars are expensive to build...

Its also logistically hard to actually get the energy back into the grid from cars. Driving around with it is fine but if you cant put the energy back into the grid at peak time you still have to over
produce more energy in total than just to cover the peak. It uses the energy which is good but it does not reduce the difference between peak demand an low demand. If that is reduced it has an overall larger impact than just to using the excess energy.

Pumping water back up into a reservoir is the most common and probably oldest way to store excess grid capacity like an actual grid batter (one that gives energy back to the grid). Ofc its not feasible in many places due to the lack of hydro power plant but there are other ways to actually store energy and deliver it back to the grid unlike the Buttcoin battery nonsense.

It's interesting to see Wayland enabled by default.

I'm curious to know what state Wayland is in nowadays, especially regarding how well it works with Nvidia cards. The last time I tried it out was around 2017ish when Fedora enabled it by default. It was 100% not ready then as it wouldn't even boot into the desktop with my nvidia card.

Is it actually ready now? Does it work with nvidia cards? Does GPU acceleration work with nvidia cards? Are apps launching via xwayland gpu accelerated / working as expected? It sounds like OBS and some screenshot programs work now which is nice.

Math and Energy. That's the beautiful thing. If you trust the ECDSA is secure, and you trust that SHA256 is secure - You don't need to trust the individual network participants.

If ECDSA or SHA256 were shown to be weaker than believed, they can be substituted in the bitcoin codebase (given approval of all participants, which are incentivized to ensure the computational security of the protocol).

The energy is the barrier to prevent malicious parties from rewinding history. Fundamental, understood quantities in the universe is far better than the political whims of the party in charge.

Of course not, it's not free so it's not cost effective compared to the best database, which is PostgreSQL.

Yeah, I should have been clearer. I'm not trying to litigate the US vs. Europe debate, which I think has been discussed many times. My question more was about within Europe, the relative attractiveness of software vs other professional fields.

Median incomes in Germany are about 25% lower than the US. Yet SWE compensation seems to be 50%+ lower than the US equivalent. That would suggest that other skilled professions must make significantly more than SWEs.

For example in the US, bankers or lawyers are roughly on par with high-end SWEs. I'm would assume German bankers and lawyers are making well more than 60k. If that's the case, what incentive would talented Germans have to pursue software instead of other higher-paid careers? (I could be wrong on my assumptions, maybe skilled professionals in Germany are just much less compensated relative to the median worker in general.)

There is no miracle ability to understand data science[1]. It just takes interest and time. You should only move to another field if it interests you more.

You did say something though that weighs particularly on me.

> I genuinely feel I’m thinking too slow in general, always felt.

This is one of my insecurities as well. Not just mentally but physically as well. I've come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as quickness. Its just a fault of our first-person perspective of the world. But I don't really know for sure.

For what its worth, my assessment of you is that you are an intelligent person and that you could become a data scientist should you choose to do so. It will take time and effort but that is expected.
