In third-world countries there are developers earning less than $500 per month and they're generally stuck with it (fresh grads, or experienced yet low-skilled).

"Shitty" is very subjective, could be compensation-wise, or ethics-wise, even trajectory-wise.

> I was really upset having spent a weekend on a take-home project who's feedback was basically "we're disappointed."

Man I had my fair share of these, for example: that time when I laid out the technical limitations we'll encounter, and all response that I got is "you're over-complicating this". That's the time I realized I need to just be doing the bare minimum to survive, and that I should start considering working on my own projects towards having my own company someday, so I don't put myself in that situation again.

Seems like it's just ebb and flow of the career, learning lessons along the way, and of course having a thicker skin in the game.
So you pool with friends, and keep each other paying the bill.

There are a large number of process management tools out there, not just Atlassian. If your office is more creative, they could adopt one of the BPMN-based or similarly generic tools and build out their own processes properly instead of trying to shoehorn everything into whatever Atlassian is pushing.

He talks about two benefits: One for the companies (profit and real improvements in productivity), one for the employees (better focus means less unpaid OT answering after hours emails and texts, or even paid OT that still leads to burnout). The reason to focus on that former one is that it's pretty much the best way to convince the people who care most about profits (that is, people at the top of the hierarchy) to care about something. Not that they don't care about employee wellbeing at all (though some may be truly uncaring), but it's too remote from their present position or too low a priority compared to keeping the company operating.

That's why he talks about how in this case he thinks incentives (in particular between management, shareholders, and employees) are actually aligned to potentially produce a win-win.
Absolutely agree, couldn't have said it better myself. It's a systems engineering problem and requires rethinking of nearly every component, from the propeller design to the architecture of motors and controls.

Torqeedo is an interesting example, they've been very successful with low-power electric outboards because in contrast with other companies they've invested heavily in rethinking propeller designs to be suitable for electric motors. The result looks nothing like a gas motor: They have huge, slow-rotating propellers that peak at <1200rpm and a high-speed brushless motor that gets geared down so it operates at the top of its RPM and efficiency range.
It happened to me as well 6 days ago (with the exact same link). In the mean time, they removed the warning.
In Hawai'i I see hydrofoils more and more. The way they move looks to me like there's a significant (2x+) advantage in efficiency (and smoother ride). So I'd expect "The Next Generation of Boats" to have a hydro foil.

I'm a complete layman though, so could be wrong. Can anyone answer whether modern hydrofoils are a game changer?
Maybe I missed it, but there doesn't seem to be anything about capital gains.

Chores, the Cheater's Guide to Mindfulness
Ahh, Ken Rockwell.

I think any burgeoning camera enthusiast goes through the phase of taking Ken Rockwell seriously and reading him voraciously - I did and most of my friends, colleagues, and Facebook photo enthusiast acquaintances seem to:). He is fun, encouraging, and opinionated. He gets some basics right, and he's moved a million enthusiasts along the learning curve; he makes you feel you're in on the real deal and are learning deep dark simplification secrets from an established Pro. But eventually you outgrow him - the more technical or specific or factual an issue gets, the better, in general, you may be to read around.

Re topic of the article - I indeed shot JPEG my first couple of years, right around the time this article was published, and argued incessantly with professionals based on Ken Rockwell math. Then I shot my first wedding in RAW+JPEG just to be safe, and have only shot professional engagements in RAW since.

There absolutely positively is a time and place for JPEG as well as RAW. And I'll agree with his first piece of advice: If you have to ask shoot JPEG.

But almost everything below that is either wrong or skewed or biased or incomplete. RAW has tremendous benefits, for prolific and occasional shooters alike, and now I firmly subscribe to Thom Hogan's philosophy of "optimal data capture", whether I do <50 shots on a carefully managed studio shoot, or 3000+shots (with second photographer etc) on a busy wedding weekend.

(mind you, I'm happy to see Ken still going, and I hope he continues to encourage generations of photographers; it can be a somewhat thankless gig, as he does get teased and challenged around the web a lot and as I said, most people tend to "outgrow him"; but he provides a great push and interest at a right time in photographer's growth and career - when you start getting deeper, and forums and experts tell you how complicated everything is and how ignorant you are and how much you'll fail, he cheerfully encourages you to shoot everything you can with anything you have - and that's a great attitude to have :)
Explaining it to everyone is not how you are supposed to handle identity theft.

Microsoft's apparent legal opinion is that training an AI on the data is the same as reading it, and doesn't require a license.

That as long as they have the right to read the data, they have the right to train an AI on it. The fact that the code is available under an open source license is irreverent to them.

As for why they didn't use their own private code to train their AI, I suspect it was more of a non-malicious: "we don't need to, this public github repo dataset is big enough for now"

Personally, I think Microsoft should double down on this legal stance. Train the AI on all their internal code. And train it on any code they have licensed from other companies too.

Now days, professional photos should be RAW as SD cards can fit a hell of a lot of storage on, and RAW provides so much flexability to change things like the white balance etc so I always shoot in RAW with a DSLR then post process the images. It takes time but the images look better then they would have then before.
RAW is not for everyone though.
> Can you identify anyone who actually believes that?

I'm not sure if you are trolling but even though Hulk is a hypothetical example, people believe equally strange things, such as invisible microchips inside face masks, viruses being spread by 5G cell towers, that the world is flat and Australia does not exist.
Ah, I was blocking ads too. Didn't think it was that bad.
My biggest take from this :

> When you declare a class that’s a kind of item, it locks you into that structure much more tightly than if you just have member elements. It’s nice to be able to use virtual functions and that kind of thing, but the tradeoffs are just too much.

Aka, OOP is a bad design even when you take the benefits of its virtual method system.

Stick with struct and functions.
I really hope they can do something to improve the lives of their customers. Your average hackernews reader knows nothing of the indignities of not being able to get banking services and having to rely on using services from check cashing/title loan companies, rent to own furniture companies, and having to rent from slum lords. I really hope Will Smith and Jay-Z take only a modest return on their investments.

I want a breakdown of remote work preference by dollar amount spent on office chair. I think this would be revealing.
From my point of view as a peasant without any shares anywhere, multibillion dollar vaporware companies have very little impact. We could argue this investment could have gone into better companies who could have made the world a better place, but it's purely hypothetical (the money could have gone to a worse company, or political lobbying as well...). Basically, from afar, it's a "rich people lost some money" drama.
That... seems low.
Okay, so I've looked more into the stats based on their marketing material, and I just don't see how the math works out...

They're claiming a 200kWh battery which seems a bit high for the size of the boat.

An equivalent battery system for marine environments that exists today is the Deep Blue BMW i3 (https://www.torqeedo.com/us/en-us/technology-and-environment...) which is a Torqeedo-BMW collaboration. That battery is 40kWh and 278kg.

Now, obviously there is a BMS and other parts that don't need to be replicated 5x, but scaling that up to a 200kWh pack gives 1390kg. That is absolutely ridiculous. Candela's entire C-7 boat weighs 1300kg, and it's only able to maintain a good range by utilizing hydroplaning extensively.

I'm not sure how a conventional planing hull that might weigh well over 2000kg with interior components, passengers, etc will get any reasonable range, and I suspect they don't show average range or loaded weight in the stats because it just doesn't look great compared to their competitors.
Please do. Exercising and eating healthy is crucial as hell in managing plateau's and burnouts like this.

Honestly it doesn't really matter what you'll do (be it cardio, body-weight exercises, or weight-lifting).

At first you just wanna be consistent on literally anything, as long as you show up doing your thing every day, eating healthily enough every day, and resting as much as you need, that'll put you into that better head-space.
Rich people generally became rich by inheriting lots of money.

The government, in theory, is bound by the first amendment. FB being run by a government bound by traditional first amendment restrictions would be worlds better than what we have now.
My entire back twinged when I read this headline. It sounds awful. I have a work chair at my desk for work posture. Sit up or get up.
I like it for after lunch for an hour or two while sipping a coffee and trying to rally for another productive session. Much better than trying to rest my belly on a chair or standing like I did at the office.
The way it's written it looks like the bed (and the couch etc) are used for work because alot of remote workers don't have a real office to work in. I have a dedicated office in my home to work from with a real office chair and standing desk and that's where I do my work. A colleague of mine even has an under desk treadmill.

This does bring up a valid point that not everyone can afford these things, but employers should provide them IMO.
I agree email isn't the best for social communication, but I find it silly young people would get upset about needing an email address. It seems pretty obvious to me that an email is required for a number of basic adult functions, especially if one doesn't want to make a lot of phone calls. I was in high school in 2009 and my entire peer group was already using email for things like summer job applications and booking appointments.

Also, I'm surprised the university wasn't assigning them .edu emails anyway. My younger brother is in college now and he loves the school email for getting student discounts.
"..part of the issue is that the Tesla version of these tires start with 1.5 32nds of an inch less tread depth than the off-the-shelf MXM4s. Although it might not sound like much, that's 20 percent less usable tread depth. "

that's a pretty shitty way to cut costs if that's true; they should at least give the 'tesla version' of the tire a new designation -- at least then it wouldn't look like an obvious attempt to hoodwink consumers.

a charitable take would be that they're shaving tires[0] so that their car has better tire performance , and that this process is actually costing Tesla money... but I somehow doubt it -- and if that IS the case the tire should still be re-designated given that a third party is taking it upon themselves to modify the rubber.

Haha, I lost my phone literally 3 weeks ago and I realized that's the best way to deal with it, lol. It sucks when I have to do 2FA, forces me to borrow someone's phone and plug my sim card, but nonetheless the peace of mind is really there.
Historically, there have been significant bottlenecks on algorithms, I'd argue software plays a bigger role than hardware; especially during inference.

Going back to AlexNet, while GPUs helped the training process, it included significant software improvements that made a huge difference: training with dropout, convolutional neural networks, using rectified linear units, etc.

Also, training hardware is much more relevant than hardware for inference. Tesla's cars do not include hardware to train the neural network but just for inference. The training hardware is actually a server cluster that Tesla owns. So if hardware is insufficient, Tesla might have to buy a larger training cluster, but not necessarily upgrade the inference hardware.

That say, I do agree that there is some risk in requiring a hardware upgrade for inference, but to me that seems very unlikely.
I think we all know that.

I just don't see how this had anything to do with typhoons and surf contests in Japan, seemed silly.

> Since so many here are downvoting science because of their political agenda

It doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing situation. If your posture was true, only Asians would find Asian girls attractive, for example. The fact that mixed people exist is proof that a subset of the population finds variance attractive, and another subset doesn't or doesn't care.

We don't have to differentiate instinct from culture from nurture, just look at the final effect. Politics has no place in this discussion.

I have not yet become that nihilistic, but I do think it would require a pair of a subject matter expert and then someone with reasonable software engineering chops to pull it off. Starting by not using a dynamically typed language, IMHO

I figure if M:TG can be implemented, surely the tax code can, too, even if it requires an "expert system," or machine learning, or NLP or something other than 1,500,000 lines of C++ or whatever TurboTax is written in

Actually, that's also an interesting question: surely the IRS doesn't rely on an army of people with calculators and pencils to verify said returns, so I wonder if a well placed FOIA request would cough up their COBOL source code they use?

OK, come on. It's a deflationary asset. If you got in early you're sitting on a bunch of it you get to be insanely rich if it's the main means of exchange. When people are being more honest about it they fantasize about that happening and getting to lord it over everyone else.

> Imprisoned Vampire Elected Mayor

That's not even (necessarily) a bug: whether convicts can win/hold elected positions is a aspect of applicable law (albeit a weird one), vampires (IIRC) have high social stats and skills and so are well-postioned to win elections in general, and dwarves (and for that matter humans) don't necessarily update their opinion of someone just because they were convicted of a crime (especially if they don't hear about the conviction, which (knowledge transmission) I recall was added to the game modeling at some point). So this is like a headline "Bob Smith Convicted of Murder; Wins Mayoral Election Anyway", which seems weird-but-possible in real life.
It still wouldn't do much because as soon as Google starts to try to identify sites full of ads by some criteria, shady sites are going to start serving ads in some other way. It's already hard enough to distinguish ads in some sites that have gone with native ads or advertorials.
I'd guess a lot of these older music videos were posted by many people and the views don't all get aggregated.

Interestingly, (yahoo) launchcast could let you watch music videos for free on demand, but couldn't let you pick a song to listen to for audio only because music videos had less onerous licensing.

> But is everyone that easily manipulated? More importantly, does everyone actually believe that they can be easily manipulated, or do they just think that everyone else is so easily manipulated, but somehow they're above the fray?

I mean, having watched family members descend into raving about the Pope and George Soros harvesting children for adrenochrome despite no previous interest in current events, yeah, I think people can be manipulated by obviously bogus information. You can decide for yourself what you think should or shouldn't be done about it but I don't think that point should be in doubt anymore.
recently I complained to a coworker about the state not having an equivalent free file fillable forms and he piped back "thank Intuit for that". I thought what do they have to do with any of that? Just seemed totally disconnected to me. Then this year when I was free fillable forms filing and using the Brave browser I saw all this add blocked junk and checked it out and wow it was all stuff from Intuit. I would have never guessed that free file fillable forms is an Intuit product, it's pretty well hidden the relationship. If you dig around the website you can uncover the origins but it's not obvious with any branding and what not.

I move around quite a bit during the day. Living room table, couch, play room with the kids, etc. I have a portable desk I'll pop open outside to spend time with the dog. I experimented working within VR on the oculus quest but the neck strain was too much and the resolution too low. But occasionally I would lay down with the headset on and a keyboard in my lap.

Changing my scenery helps me stay engaged. But I feel for others who do not operate that way and cannot afford a setup that accommodates how their brain works. That would be very frustrating.
There's a desktop version that seems to run offline.
Yes. 'some group thinks it needs to "protect the others"'.

Virtual signaling and safetyism. Hilarious how the virtue signaling elite regularly close their conference calls with "everyone stay safe". Oh, I know you (don't) care about me.
Wouldn’t increasing radicalism increase engagement and thus ad revenue? Doesn’t seem counterintuitive to me since the process flow would be something like:

- increase access and reach for religious groups

- more extreme elements interact , perhaps hostility ensures (engagement number go up)

- “moderate” the hyper engaged groups and tune the engagement to increase but in a manner controlled by Facebook (ad revenue number go up)
Nobody actually wants an "uncensored" Facebook. If you went there and your feed were full of spam, porn, and shock videos, you'd stop going.
