So I assume this could be used in USB5 and DisplayPort 3.0 with 160Gbps? That should allow 8K Res at 120Hz without compression or something like 5K with 240Hz.

The certification of Thunderbolt still requires Intel's blessing though. So while it is royalty free and open standard there is still some barrier in getting AMD on board. Although from my view there isn't actually that much of consumer demand for Thunderbolt.
This is kinda of discouraging. I want to bring my income up soon and was wondering since people say the markets so good if I could spend some months skilling up and then trying to send out some resumes. Also I don’t really have the resources to move and was mainly going to target remote roles.
A fairer analogy is that GP is saying, "I don't want to use a van to bring my stuff, but prefer a pickup truck." From the customer's POV, it makes no difference.

The optical cable itself is made of glass in a plastic sheath. It's very cheap because there are millions of kilometres of it used around the globe.

And yes, the tiny few micron glass core is actually more tough than thicker copper cables.

It's only sensitive to extreme, like 180° bends, and a thicker insulation will prevent permanent damage.

Did you agree on the price of that extra work? If not, I recommend to set price prohibitively high, e.g. $100 per line of code or $1000 per hour of work. If your company really want to own your side project, then they will need to pay the requested price.

Was this a FAANG or FAANG-like company where it's likely you'd have TC of $350K plus, or a sub-FAANG company where your TC would likely be in the $100-200K range?
There is no way any of the FANG companies care about keeping their campuses occupied for the sole purpose of justifying their costs. If remote work resulted in happier employees and by extension more productive employees that trade-off would be a no-brainer. The real reason is they genuinely think in-person benefits outweigh remote benefits for most employees. The internal employee surveys show this to be the case. Most employees want the hybrid model. HN is a bubble.
This reminds me of the Ghost in the Shell anime (IIRC second season) where Batou, one of the characters mentions he represented Japan on the Paralympics in boxing in the past.

The thing is that he is a full body cyborg ex JSDF soldier with with Ranger training that can literally bend steel bars with bare hands and jump between buildings. And for historical reasons all cyborgs in the near future cyberpunk world of GitS compete on the Paralympics, making them much more interesting than the "normal" Olympic games where only non-augmented humans presumably still compete with each other, with all the limitations of a standard human body.

> (central banks interventions are useless without bank and other financial intermediaries participation, it would be like pushing on a string).

Yes, the only thing financial intermediaries would be missing is the actual funds (largely paid by the middle class) to bail out corporations for the second time in less than twenty years.

> Don't be fooled by the contemporary contempt against finance.

There has been contempt for greed and corruption for a long time, and for the same reasons that finance continues to earn it today. If the middle class didn’t constantly bail out the banks and their related parasites, you would all be bankrupt.

Frankly I don’t want to hear any advice from anyone in the financial industry until you demonstrate the ability to pay taxes and save enough to make it through the next crisis without crawling to the capitol building with your hand out.
> If you think interacting with coworkers is opposed to being a productive employee

Being productive is as much a waste of my time as interacting with coworkers.

Maybe not all tech is benefiting as evenly? My company is mostly data science. We don't seen to have an issue filling those spots. Software engineering job postings have been open for months and as far as I know, nobody has been interviewed.
Why is the truth being downvoted?
Just have the sample. Your refusal to not consume it isn't going to change them buying the plastic, because given the choice, people aren't going to stop sampling in the aggregate. And at that point you're just signaling to other people in a really silly way.

If you really care, talk to your local representatives or write to Trader Joes and Whole Foods. Anything else is posturing. Not taking a sample which costs them a few cents on the dollar is not taking action.

I'm not going to stop, personally. They can give it to me in paper wrapping instead if they want to make a difference, and in fact, with their cups, they already do. Let someone invest in paper sampling spoons.

How to unite and manage the world by a natural/logical religion
No other re-ligion (= back-binding [one etymological analysis] to some ideas to rely on for humans) is necessary for a society, but only reasoned about principles: reflection, symmetry, cooperative construction (by too many CAs -> 1CA).

Evolved religions like Christianity also abide to following principles. Their followers do reflect about the world, they are in search of beauty (symmetry), they try to establish one text as core of their religion. Uncovering an abstract core of every human society is our goal here for the betterment of education and world management. (Respect for every evolved religion is granted, but having different people adhering to different religions is not a good way to start thinking about a unity of humanity -- despite the potential of tolerance in various religions. )

In other words, make your moves now, and with an eye toward the crash that's coming.
Sure!

The entertainment industry is timecard based - and many of the workers are unionized. This means things like, if they don't get time to take a lunch but work over 6 hours, they're due a certain penalty from the production company for the meal they never had; or if they only got 4 hours of sleep last night before being called back to set - they're owed another penalty to compensate them based on a formula of invaded hours. This in addition to things like retirement benefits that need to be calculated, tracked, and paid into.

Each union, and different roles within unions, and even different cities and states (california especially), have different terms and rates and formulas defined; but currently actually meeting those requires a team of specialists to "breakdown" the time for the given workers union/state/agreement. It's hard, and without that team many production companies just wing it - and some have been making incorrect/noincompliant payments to their workers for years.

At wrapbook, we're automating all of those agreements. There is no guesswork when you submit a timecard - which is great for workers, because they know they'll get paid what they are owed; and good for (most) production companies because they WANT to be compliant, but it's hard to do with all of the requirements involved, and good for unions because they know we are ensuring every T is crossed and I is dotted in compliance with the agreements they defined and everyone involved agreed to.

We do other things as well to make sure payments get paid and that they go where they're supposed to go, another area where there has been problems for workers.

I hope that adds some clarity.
A side-effect of Windows pinning fonts to pixels is that you can't get arbitrary font sizes and scaling. E.g. I had to use “font-size: 82%” in CSS, because at 80% the text looked bad (pinned to the wrong pixel, and possibly became blurry, can't remember for sure). Likewise, zooming in browsers was a mess.

This was ten years ago, so dunno if anything has changed.
Single use stuff seems easy enough to fix. What seems less obvious to me is what I experienced when shopping for a potty chair for our youngest there were dozens of options at just a single store for a big hunk of plastic that's only useful for a period of months. We ended up not buying one at all.

I had a similar experience the last time I was at CES and was deep into the "South Hall" where there's kiosk after display booth after kiosk of just completely pointless crap of every shape and size. Thousands of practically identical cheap cell phone cases. Thousands of cheap bags and backpacks adorned with battery packs and/or Bluetooth speakers. Each and every booth staffed with multiple people who have to stand there and try to convince you that their big mountain of garbage is somehow special. At the same time as it's astonishingly wasteful and kind of insane when you think about it, it's also completely existentially debasing to the people involved.

If we have a global addiction to anything that seems like it needs fixing, it seems like we're addicted to producing stuff we don't need for problems we don't have just for the sake of doing something.

Carnot is for heat engines. So the maximum efficiency of converting a heat differential into kinetic energy.

This is converting electricity into kinetic energy and vice versa. So it'd be the product of those two maximum efficiencies, whatever they are.

Chrome OS is probably the most secure system to use from an exploit perspective.

Just never install an Android app on it (that feature doesn't have the same guarantees as the rest of the system), and preferably use a guest account on it (that's how they run it in security competitions)

You basically have to break four layers to exploit that. You have to break the web renderer, then out of the browser sandbox, then you need to exploit the kernel to be able to write outside the (non persistent) guest account storage, then you need to exploit the firmware/secure boot chain so secure boot doesn't detect your modifications to the filesystem when the system next boots.
I recently went through the hiring process for a few companies and while most of them required several technical interviews, one of them never once had me do a coding test. I essentially kept going through the process just to see if they would make me an offer after three conversations (They eventually did make an offer).

It's true there is nothing inherent. Because all these non-statically typed garbage collected languages with Algol-like syntax are basically the same language. Given that it makes sense that the decision is made based on libraries, community, inertia and whim.

"At least 97% of the funding for the development of the Oxford/AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine has been identified as coming from taxpayers or charitable trusts [..] Oxford University initially said any vaccine it developed would be open to qualified manufacturers to produce without paying royalties, and priced either at cost or at a small profit. However, by August 2020, reportedly at the urging of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, among others, the university decided to change course. It entered an exclusive licensing agreement with the British-Swedish drugmaker AstraZeneca." - https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/apr/15/oxfordastraz...

I'm not sure if remote access programs (web browser or not) even support screen readers on the client, especially since many of those render the entire desktop server-side and send it back to the client as an image or video. A possible option may be to run the screen reader on the remote desktop itself if that's possible.
Or move near the beach to work almost full remote, like me.
> First, there's not enough information in the serialized accessibility tree to reconstruct the DOM.

There doesn't have to be enough in there to reconstruct the original DOM, just enough to expose all of the information that screen readers and other accessibility tools need. The fact that that information would be exposed through an HTML DOM in this case is irrelevant; we know the Chromium accessibility tree has all the necessary information.

> Second, the serialization format is an internal API, so there are no constraints on backwards compatibility.

OK, you got me there. Maybe the server side has to go all the way and construct the HTML.

> Third, the bandwidth and latency requirements for inter-process communication are far higher than what is available for most client-server communication.

OK, again, maybe the server side has to digest the data some more before sending it. But at least Chromium is already pushing serialized tree updates. I'll withhold a rant on how it could be much worse.
Because without CloudFlare we would: Pay thousands in bandwidth costs per month; Double or triple our servers to handle peaks (they cache and serve the HTML for us); Be down constantly because of DDOS attacks.
To add to this, landfills have a bad reputation but are actually a pretty good solution to trash when operated well. By concentrating waste in a single place and sealing it in hermetically (with constant nearby environmental monitoring), it doesn't end up strewn everywhere.

Also when it becomes economical to recycle parts it in the future, we don't have to go hunting around for it, we can just dig it up and process it in-place or nearby.

That’s extremely misleading Germany simply uses incinerators before dumping the ash in landfills.

There could be a couple factors here. The first is that recruiting at most companies prefers to reach out to candidates then the other way around. My suspicion has been that they get inundated with unqualified resumes via direct applications and just don't want to spend the time looking through it. You should try going back through linkedin over the last 6 months and messaging recruiters who did cold outreach or directly ping a recruiter at a company you want to work for.

The other area is that DS means something a bit different at each company you could work for. Some may want SQL experts, others want SWE's with some ML and still others expect 100% modeling all the time. You may get filtered out if you don't have the appropriate buzzwords/skills listed on your resume e.g. AWS, BigQuery, Java, python, Tensorflow etc.

Is incineration of plastic really better for the environment than a landfill? And would the ash not go to a landfill of sorts?

average joe != nutritionally ignorant. You may understand a few things about nutrition, but if you don’t understand a lot of things you’re going to have a bad time being 100% vegan. If you eat meat and you stick to a diet of minimally processed meat + fruits/vegetables you’d be fine.

Is meat inflammatory and carcinogen? Here’s the thing: we’ve been eating meat since we turned homo sapiens sapiens. Is the meat or the way that it’s processed a problem? Can you put in the same bucket organic grass fed beef and mystery meat hotdogs?

Plant based and vegan eating are almost entirely the land of privileged people.

This almost seems like a trolling comment but I’ll respond to add some info from a different POV. FWIW (and as an ex Amazon manager) I haven’t seen this at all for many of the engineers who are my friends and former coworkers. Good engineers from Amazon are in high demand and are getting offers frequently. If you’re an Amazon engineer, you can have a lot of experience running live services at massive scale and that’s invaluable. I also haven’t seen any recruiters who mark Amazon as a red flag, but hey, maybe there are some very particular companies I don’t know about who have a vendetta
