In my experience, Linux hardware support is significantly better than MacOS and Windows (particularly 11, but even trumps 10 and 7 in most regards), and I'd like to see proof otherwise.
Paper degrades if it is near the surface, mixed with loose dirt, and still getting oxygen. If it's packed down under feet of compacted soil and other trash it degrades much more slowly.
Of course market ineffiencies exist, but you need to stop and think if you're doing something novel. This would help people avoid pyramid and Ponzi schemes.
normally I would just say: appeal to authority, but since it’s the CDC and they have royalty screwed up the pandemic response I’m gonna go the extra mile: “fuck the CDC”
I dislike Erdogan more than the next guy, but I wouldn't mind this son in law taking more power among them. But I would imagine, he stays away from politics...which is a smart move actually.
A past organization of mine just had a big data breach. It would not surprise me if the near complete loss of domain knowledge and institutional knowledge was a contributing factor/cause.
You're greatly underestimating what people can manage on their own. Even ancient peoples managed plenty of harm to nature. Deforested whole regions, wiped out species, damaged farmland with irrigation, etc.

Now there are vastly more of us, and we have a lot better tools to do damage with.
I learned to ask for things just a bit too late. For my current role, the job description explicitly noted there would be no relocation assistance. I ended up paying for my move out of pocket.

They were actually looking for two people for the role I was applying to. After starting, I met the other guy that was hired a few months before me. He had moved from even further than I had. After talking, he mentioned he was given relocation assistance. When I asked him about the explicit mention that that would not be offered. He simply told me he noticed it, but asked anyway and got it.
If they put things like TPU development and TPU advertising costs (Google Colab) into the Google Cloud budget I can easily see that being responsible for a notable part of this loss.
> re-used as household trash bags

this is what i do, and if they were banned i'd be using some sort of bag and then purchasing trash bags separately using maybe twice the resources?
Imagine caring about your employer who employs 100k+ other people and who would fire you without hesitation. (Or glee even.)
Yes. When I hear a valley person mention salary, they usually bundle in stock compensation.

The cash and other benefits are still ludicrous by any normal assessment but stock makes it unreal.
They have paid products like Pocket, VPN etc. Those are sold by the for-profit corp that develops Firefox, not the non-profit foundation that owns the corp.
Well, I can agree with all that, probably more so than 80%+ of other naturalists. Although naturalists tend to actually be pretty open to the powerful psychological effects that can happen via natural means, as you need that to explain things like alien abduction experiences, near-death experiences, etc. in natural terms, unless those people are literally all lying.

You would be hard put to find a house that wasn't built exactly like the Linux Desktop is. Your general contractor (distribution) hires a variety of contractors to install a massive pile of different components very few designed particularly for your house. Your analogy only works on the surface because of the odd notion of putting the component boundary at the board somehow.

The difference isn't the unconnected nature of the work which is virtuous its the resources available. No general contractor does the work needed to integrate all the many any varied components into a pleasing design for free and none of the components themselves are free. This flow of resources is what funds both the creation of said components and their proper integration. Because software has zero marginal cost an acceptable Linux Desktop experience can be cobbled together from what efforts people are willing to donate and what can be gleaned from resources invested in more valuable endeavors like servers.

The elephant in the room isn't figuring out how to get people to donate enough labor to make a third party OS work on every computer in the world, an impossible Sisyphean labor, its either convincing enough users to buy Linux computers for Linux support or finding some other way of getting sufficient investment for a more polished experience.

In any case nobody wonders out loud how we can possibly get Mac OS to have better hardware support people just buy a mac. I submit that there is also a third option. Google "name of my prospective computer" and the word Linux.
Is this true?

Since joining Amazon 2 years ago the rate of recruiters hitting my inbox has increased around 3x and I regularly get contacts from Google, Facebook, and MS recruiters, plus recruiters from random small shops in the Bay Area.

I suppose you are exaggerating.
you’re missing the point over and over again. guess this is where we go our separate ways, you with your bulk legumes and me with my ignorance. have a good day
Expensive lesson, but a useful one. A good candidate who is willing to sign is too valuable to pass on just because they're asking for 5-20k in one time expenses.

Even if they stuck with no relo, they might have extra budget for sign on, which is equivalent. For whatever reason, companies tend to be sticklers for budget allocation, even if total amount equates, even to their bottom line. Relocation assistance might be frowned on as an 'unnecessary' overhead cost ("can we not find good people already in the area?!"), but a higher sign on wouldn't ("it's a competitive market"), despite also being overhead.
It’s not just for the sake of doing something, it’s to have profits growing constantly and wages been paid.
There won’t be a crash. Possibly a period of stagnant wages because the market got ahead of itself, but I don’t think any of the underlying demand is going away.
I went to university here, but lost cat did not exist at the time. What is this about? Can anyone provide background? (The Website does not, as far as I can tell)
I have no skin in the game, but I buy things on Chewy because I trust them more than Amazon to not surface cheap crap, and their reviews are better. I checked and it looks like they're revenue positive with >500M cash on hand. They may not be worth their current stock price but I imagine they're going to survive as a company just fine.
Brilliant Books That Changed How I Think
How many companies are building something worth believing in?

The ones who are (few) defintiely don't worry about this problem as much. If a company is having problems with it it's probably that their estimation of their own moral self worth is what's incorrect, not the attitude of their employees.
>Also, the landlords here don't "take care of building..the house"—that happened 100-150 years ago or so.

So landlords haven't painted, repaired the roof, added appliances, etc in 100 years?

> need to wash food containers out before recycling (...) used greasy pizza boxes with cheese stuck to the bottom are not recyclable yet a heck of a lot of people toss them in the cardboard recycle bin.

People are not being informed about it clearly enough. Not that it would change much, except discouraging most people from sorting trash.

Beyond being a significant burden, having individuals washing their trash is just ridiculously inefficient and wasteful in terms of water and energy use, plus it would more than double the amount of detergent unloaded into the return leg of water supply loop. It kind of already defeats the point of recycling.

And that's without even getting to the whole "recycling things other than metal and maybe glass is a scam" thing.
It was a lateral move within the same company, so my compensation is identical to what it was before. Honestly I credit my manager and the company in general for allowing me to make the move. My manager was extremely supportive when I expressed interest in product management and was quick to throw my name into the hat when an internal job opening popped up. I think it helps that I work for an extremely large company. I doubt I would have been able to make the switch if I was still working at a startup.

I've been talking to a few companies about VP Eng roles -- as got nowhere getting VC interest in a new project I've been kicking around

3 companies I've had detailed discussions with so far all want someone to hire 200-400 new devs in UK/DE this year -- and I've seen several other posts with similar aspirations in diff sectors

So that's 1K-2K devs needed that I know (from management/investor 'needs', I'm not convinced the engineering requirement really needs anywhere near that) ... all in same space ... all same job spec ... some willing to pay whatever is required

Much of that in the new fast groceries sector -- I don't think people understand how disruptive that is going to be (in more ways than just wrecking current physical grocery sector)
Think!. To recycle plastic it must be as clean as new plastic and of the same type of plastic. It then needs to be processed into granular pills of the same.This may mean mixing and melting and adding color to a standard color - usually tending towards brownish = used for hidden or structural parts where color does not matter. You can not have any fiber or fiberglass reinforced plastic in the mix - a little ruins the batch. All this costs $$, usually more cost than new material.
The only way to drive this is to add an input cost(refundable deposit or tax) to plastic when made or imported - to pay for the sorting and recycling. It makes sense - works with glass beer bottles, but plastics beer soda bottles etc usually have too much grunge to economically clean to the needs of recyclers.
We may have to throw away the false economy of plastic by adding a realistic tax/deposit...
This has eliminated much recycling.
Isn’t it safe to say that GCP is a perfect place for Google to take losses from a tax perspective? They can just keep building new DCs, upgrading gear, creating partnerships, and buying customers. I feel like they could make it profitable any time they like, and they certainly did last quarter.
But Netflix can upcharge for a 4K subscription. ;-)

Seinfeld was shot on 35mm film so bully for them. The HD versions are interesting. You see parts of the set that were meant to be hidden in 4:3. You also see a lot of makeup errors. Once you see where the makeup ends on Elaine's hairline you can't unsee it.
My understanding is that FAANG pays very well in India and Japan
and Canada. Is this not true?
FAANG are magic money printing machines. That’s why they can afford so many bs side projects that don’t make any money. And I write software that consumes 50-100x my salary in resources, so I’m probably underpaid.

How does performing this effort make you feel?
I trash every application that doesn’t include one. Because most likely they’re just spamming openings, and didn’t read anything about the position.

Every applicant that included a cover letter was way above median quality, and worth interviewing.

I might miss some decent people this way, but it’s been a very helpful first-level filter of applicants.
For the latter question, "maybe"?

I have a LinkedIn but I don't really keep it actively updated. But for my current FAANG job I was sourced via LinkedIn. Received a random recruiter inbox message there and eventually was hired.
you get a little sticker to put on your car when you donate, the usual suspiscion is that people who have those stickers are treated better if the cop sees it, so a lot of people donate.

I haven’t dealt with satellite systems in a while, but I distinctly remember seeing beam forming in some satellite communications company’s advertising material several years ago, and I’m sure even they had updatable firmware.

Wikipedia says:

Version 3.x: 8 GT/s
×1: 985 MB/s

I think you can also buy eth controllers that will saturate that.
Um. I don't often swear on HN, but what the fuck.

It should go without saying that it is not normal in a civilized society for the police to harass and intimidate random people over the telephone into giving them money - let alone automating it.
Weird, because PopOS does a lot of what you describe and doesn't have that annoying Chrome issue.

If you look at FAANG earnings, their annual gross revenue (before expenses), is at least $1M per employee. Last time I looked Apple does $1.5M including all their Apple store employees.

It's not just insane valuation. If the employees are bringing in $1M per head, you can afford to spend more on those who are making stuff.
A developer is worth whatever the local market pays at the time to retain them. If you have a look at housing costs in the bay area/Seattle (close to work 2000 sq ft ~ 2 million US dollars), you will understand why anything below 200k makes almost no sense in these areas for an experienced dev, and why 400k+ is fairly common.

I agree with you - hence why it is very hard for early stage startups to give meaningful offers in the bay area.
I go there now - It's a set of graffiti images that resemble a stick-figure cat with sometimes square features. They're usually on the back side of signs and things like that. There's quite a bit of it throughout Ithaca now

Zero-Knowledge Proofs and Law
Because you've been tricked into thinking $30 isn't so bad compared to $100, when you should be demanding $20 for the cinema for all four of your family, instead of rolling over and saying, "Jeez, I sure got a deal." That's what the Overton Window is all about: making one option artificially bad so that you don't negotiate and take whatever other option they give you. But if everyone just shuffles along and opens their wallets to whatever the studios ask for, they will absolutely charge more.
So early in the article and already a mistake. Humans are not God's creation. The word human comes after the creation, and is reference to what is of Man, but not Mankind itself. It is the vulgar / common tongue that distorts to their convenience.

human (adj.)

mid-15c., humain, humaigne, "human," from Old French humain, umain (adj.) "of or belonging to man" (12c.), from Latin humanus "of man, human," also "humane, philanthropic, kind, gentle, polite; learned, refined, civilized." This is in part from PIE (dh)ghomon-, literally "earthling, earthly being," as opposed to the gods (from root dhghem- "earth"), but there is no settled explanation of the sound changes involved. Compare Hebrew adam "man," from adamah "ground." Cognate with Old Lithuanian žmuo (accusative žmuni) "man, male person."
Thanks. Do you know how it started?
Many companies will comply with a police investigation, warrant or not. You can't reply on third parties demanding a warrant before they release your information to someone with a badge.
It’s not. The discovery is that they can use the eigenstates (basically think of an eingenstate as like when a top is actually spinning, it has some symmetry in regards to both it’s structure (the left and right look the same) and also in space, in that it’s changing positions but not breaking symmetry, unlike a butterfly or a bird might in regards to the Time dimension) in such a way that it’ll allow them to measure other changes or spatial changes vs. temporal, and so on. Honestly this was apparent from the the discovery of the time crystals themselves, some 6 years ago. These people aren’t terribly bright.

Further: this isn’t even one of the more clever things to do with a time crystal. I think they can’t attract REAL talent. Just workers.
To put it simply, I used to have hobbies before working at FB. Now I don't have time for anything besides work. While the pay is really good the job is a non-stop, grueling grind with no downtime allowed. I enjoyed my time but I'm done with it. Also I can't say I'm proud of working there. There's people inside that are really great to work with and the job was challenging and interesting, but I don't care for FB the company and what it's doing in general.

With that said, and I know it's a first world problem, I'm looking for a place that aligns with my views and in some specific fields that I find interesting. I'm fine taking a pay cut depending on the company and the position, I don't care so much about money anymore as an employee.
You're right; thanks for noticing and I've updated the first example. My C is a bit rusty these days and I didn't check it with a compiler the way I should have.

Students of history? Private arms are sometimes among the tools that help dictators and other authoritarian governments come to power. I'm not aware of them as a major factor in preventing the same, with any kind of regularity (actually, I'd be interested in examples of that—at best, I'm aware of them as a probably-not-necessary secondary factor, way after things like foreign intervention or acquiring the support of a significant fraction of the military, either of which comes with its own risks, of course). I'd be surprised if increasing the rate of private arms ownerships is, per se, an improvement for a state's likelihood to become run by a dictator or other authoritarian government.

Opposing private arms ownerships doesn't necessarily equate to aiding (even accidentally) some hypothetical, future authoritarian state. It's very much not clear to me that the two are strongly connected at all, nor, if they are, that the causality runs the way proponents of the 2nd amendment as a check on authoritarian or otherwise unaccountable government assume it does.
A lesson I did not learn: I dedicated each lunch hour every day for a couple of months ringing up companies and agencies. I moved jobs three times and doubled my salary in that year - which seemed good.

Then I attended a seminar - the question was asked who used agencies and who used their "network" for new jobs / freelance work.

I was the only hand up to go used agencies and the traditional job hunt.

So it's the old saw - keep a profile up - blog, project, podcast whatever, so you can use that as an excuse to stay in touch with ex-colleagues so that they might think of you when they are hiring in 3 years.

As I said not a lesson I have learned but people who earn more than me recommend it

How much does banning payment for order flow really effect the brokerages? For the sake of argument, The market-makers (like Citadel) no longer are allowed to pay brokers for their order flow.

This would force wholesalers (aka, Market-makers) to compete, and brokers to evaluate them. Currently brokers have an obligation to give best execution to their customers, which they generally fulfill by routing orders to wholesalers and carefully monitoring how much price improvement those wholesalers provide.

This ban would allow the brokerages to just route to the best Market maker, as there is no longer an incentive(or "bribe") by the Market makers.

How much of an impact does it really have for Zero-commission brokerages with the ban?
Currrently, Robin hood two incentives are 1) Making money from per-trade commission from market-makers. 2) Incentivize (or gamify) users to make alot of trades.

If we remove 1) through the above ban, then will we still have zero commission brokerages? IMO, The above ban will help the retail traders, and the zero-comission brokerages would still be in existance (e.g, Charles Schuwab net interest margin)
I'm pretty sure since Windows 8 Microsoft has focused on making font rendering look very good on high DPI displays at the cost of making them look poor on more traditional low DPI displays. Windows font rendering looks really good on 4K monitors and laptops with high res screens. Not so much on your typical 1080p-fare.
Yup. Firefox experience:
