> Docker desktop for Linux is coming. They’ve already said so.

I can't officially say how Docker will implement DD on Linux but I have a hunch it will be optional.

If it's not optional then it means you will need to install DD on your servers to run Docker which I can't realistically see happening. I'm guessing DD on Linux will just provide a few quality of life enhancements that exist on Windows and Mac, such as the host.docker.internal address and a UI for certain things for the folks who prefer that.
We must mandate speed monitoring devices for every car sold. Each time the vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit we will deduct 100 social credit points from the owner's balance.

Hundreds of thousands of people die each year due to filthy criminals driving too fast. Introducing this measure will save lives.

If you are uncomfortable with this measure, you drive too fast.
> And now they have a reason to treat apple like every other privacy invading company.

That’s right. I like the idea that on android, I can use stock tools like rsync to manage the photos/music on my phone. With Apple it’s been a constant battle against iTunes to do those basic things. The only reason I chose Apple last time I bought a phone is because I’m willing to sacrifice a bit of convenience for the perception of better security/privacy. If they lose on that front, then I’ll hop to whichever phone is easiest for me to use the way I want to.
Which applications do you use for video editing and DAW? How does the experience measure up to the competition on Windows?
First of all congratulations on finding an exciting next move in your career!

I concur with the sentiment expressed by other commenters: be wary of making financial plans (e.g., paying off a mortgage) that depend on company equity—unless the company is public, which does not seem to be the case per your post.

My advice to people usually is, go to a startup to learn new skills and aim for jobs and responsibilities that you would have trouble getting in larger, more risk-averse organizations.

Do not expect much out of the equity you will be granted for it is too hard to estimate its value: it depends on the cap table and sundry fine print (for instance liquidation preferences can drastically affect how much employees get even if the company exits) and other factors which are hard to control like execution risk. And all in all the financial reward could be far away in the future if the company stays private longer, so your mental model should also take that into account.

There are a lot of great resources online about startup equity, my favorite is the Holloway Guide to Equity, which I highly recommend:

Good luck!
You have no idea. I just got a 100 week factory lead time for a cortex m4 ARM chip… it’s not a super rare chip.
I mean simply that E-Ink (EPDs) remains incredibly patent incumbered, and the primary holder does not sell screens cheaply.

Your format and incredibly late reply make me think you're asking some sort of "Gotcha" question here, and I have no idea why.

see:

About E Ink

E Ink is the recognized leader and innovator in electronic ink technology, with over 600 U.S. patents, and 1,374 worldwide patents. E Ink continues to aggressively fund and place corporate priority on innovation, invention, and the *defense of its extensive intellectual property holdings*.

E Ink Corporation was spun out from MIT’s Media Lab in 1997 to commercialize electronic ink and electronic paper display (EPD) technology. In 2009, E Ink Corporation was purchased by Prime View International (PVI), a leading small and medium sized TFT-LCD and EPD provider. PVI was later renamed E Ink Holdings, Inc.

E Ink Holdings Inc. (8069.TWO) is now the world's largest supplier of EPD displays to the eReader market. It has transformed and defined the eReader market and is redefining the signage, architecture and design, mobile, wearable and retail markets with its ePaper technology, enabling a new multi-billion dollar market in less than 10 years. Its corporate philosophy aims to deliver revolutionary products, user experiences, and environmental benefits through advanced technology development. This vision has led to its continuous investments in the field of ePaper displays as well as expanding the use of its technologies into a number of other markets and applications, including smart packaging and fashion. Its EPD products make it the worldwide leader for ePaper. Its Fringe Field Switching (FFS) technologies are a standard for high-end LCD displays and have been licensed to all major liquid crystal display makers in the world. E Ink Holdings is listed in Taiwan's Taipei Exchange (TPEx) and the Luxembourg market. For more information please visit www.eink.com.

Edit - I see from your other replies this is clearly intended as a "gotcha" question, but I think you're incorrect in your assumption that volume is the problem. I'd argue that much like 3d printing, the issue is not really costs, but rather patents and licensing... as I clearly alluded to above.

For comparison, Amazon alone is shipping 20+ million EPD products a year through kindles. Most LCD TV manufacturers ship around the same volume, and the industry total is only around 200 million. see: https://www.statista.com/statistics/668519/lcd-tv-shipments-...

Basically - I'm claiming your argument is bullshit. The cost difference is driven by IP protections, not by volume of sales.
That is surprising to me. I'd expect that your peer getting a promotion over you drives a lot more people to leave than someone external being hired for that position.
There is absolutely no way that corporate would allow employees shooting people to defend property.

The resulting lawsuits would be orders of magnitude more expensive for the company than the lost goods, and “there was a shooting at walgreens” is not a headline that Walgreens wants to see.
I think I understand your sentiment, but what's wrong with flask??
Wait, why are we ok with the fact that windows has ads in them?
> the privacy comes from the fact that an on-device model results in 0 Apple servers ever examining your photos (unless you have 30 CSAM flags on your iCloud account), whereas an on-server model results in Apple servers examining every single photo you upload.

Every single photo you upload is getting scanned -- it's just that Apple is doing the scanning on "your" device instead of their servers.

From the point of view of the privacy of your photos, I fail to see what the difference between the two is. I mean, if they did the exact same type of scanning on their servers instead of your device, the level of privacy would be identical.

In terms of general privacy risks, not to mention the concept that you own your devices, there is an enormous difference between the two, and on-device scanning is worse.
Even ads on the lock screen (for Microsoft Edge) and through MS-certified drivers (e.g. Corsair iCue, Dolby Atmos).
One thing that baffles me in the last webfonts i’ve used is that in the install instructions the css has some @import tracking line and an explanation that the font does not work without that line, which is a plain lie. If i already have some troubles understanding charging by page views, trying to force my users to be tracked by them is just crazy.
Water is wet.

If you are looking to change your current position, you are looking to shake things up (tech, co-workers, mgmt, salary, role scope, etc)

If you are looking for new role within org you are probably looking for it outside of org too.
> The sage wisdom from the ILM professor was essentially to avoid pissing off rejected candidates by not interviewing them, as interviewing is a signal that the employees are qualified.

It makes sense, if the candidate is interviewed + rejected they know there is no upward mobility for them in the company. The next logical step is to look for employment elsewhere that may offer upward mobility.
The more domains you load JS from, the more entities have control over what happens on that page, and the higher the risk that one of those entities is trying to do something nefarious. So yes, loading all the scripts from one place will set off fewer alarm bells, at least for me.
> The sage wisdom from the ILM professor was essentially to avoid pissing off rejected candidates by not interviewing them, as interviewing is a signal that the employees are qualified.

This exactly the opposite of what the article says:

"First, internal candidates who were rejected after interviewing with the hiring manager were half as likely to exit as those rejected earlier in the process."
What I’m saying is, policy won’t do bupkis. People are going to do what they want. This ideological idea that “policy will fix covid” is willful ignorance at this point.
What feature are you talking about? The iCloud photo scans for known photos, it doesn't detect random images. The iMessage feature only allows parents to see images that their children are sharing.

As you described, nothing would flag that at all.
Same thing happened to me. It was like my company was guiding me out the door, passive-aggressively.
The fact that free git platforms exists all around doesn't kill dozens of profitable alternatives.

The same could be said about codespaces. In fact, more people getting into codespaces is great for platforms like gitpod that can fight and offer solid alternative experiences.

The issue I believe for platforms like gitpod is to shift the mindset of many devs and companies that developing in a browser isn't merely a possibility but sometimes preferable.
These are good points. I would say the War on Drugs is the greatest moral wrong of our times (domestically). The War on Terror is a similar move. Let's work together to end both!
I worked at NASA Ames and didn’t know that. Thanks.
This is pretty standard anyway (the founders and employees all have common stock while investors get preferred shares – and that's only after a priced round).
I'm sure Twitter sheds a tear for you and I not being there, but laugh all the way to the bank for the millions that are.
I don't know about specifically to your brain (that seems implausible), but there is NEAT: non-exercise activity thermogenesis. Your body adjusts energy expenditure by hundreds of calories up or down by subconsciously making you fidget more or less.
Not only that, but identifying those storing existing, known CSAM means that, unless they have previously unknown CSAM also, no additional harm has been done, as it's just file sharing.

It's only production of new/novel CSAM that harms children. Sharing of existing, known CSAM (what this system detects) doesn't harm anyone.
The anti-blockchain.
Don't worry, Fridays are supposed to be read-only.
Convenience store, pawn shop, or other stores in low income areas? Maybe.

The ones these people are hitting? Not a snowball's chance in hell. An individual could walk out with 10 baskets full of medicine and still not be worth the trouble to pull a gun for all the legal headaches that will bring.
Well for a whole home I don't recommend and WD cloud products, they don't have the performance and cross-platform protocols that make sense for more than 1 computer.

I always comeback to FreeNAS, which I have had configured various ways. I recently updated all my core hardware to mac mini so it has power/sleep modes that save that energy consumption...however payback is a lot longer than a PC..

In the end it will always be a challenge of performance vs. energy consumption.
I also don't understand the vector everyone seems worried about. Also considering that perceptual hashing isn't new, as far as I'm aware, and it hasn't seemingly yet led to any sort of wave of innocent folks being screwed over sham illicit images.

I think there _is_ an argument to be made about a system like this being used to track the spread of political material, and it's easy to see how such a system would be terrible for anyone trying to hide from an authoritarian power of some type, but that'd already require Apple is absolutely and completely compromised by an authoritarian regime, which isn't high on my list of concerns.
> GP's point is that it's ironic that the one cloud provider willing to try to make a "less bad" scanning option is the one most demonized in the media.

I think that may be because it's far from clear that Apple's solution is "less bad".
Assuming you’re in the US and it’s a fairly early stage company (one or two funding rounds), I’d look at:

* Early exercise: Allowing you to exercise your options immediately while the strike price == grant price (tax benefits and lower cash outlay) then vest the shares over time.

* Exercise window: Many companies only give you 90-days to use or lose your options if you leave down the road. Employee-friendly startups were giving 10-year windows for a while but these might have fallen out of vogue now.

* Restrictions on secondary sales and transfers: Ideally, they’ll have a short right of first refusal period but will allow secondary market sales before a liquidity event.

* QSBS: Maybe worth looking at whether the company will qualify at its current size but I wouldn’t worry about it too much. A nice perk if it works out.

-

Whatever % you end up at, assume some additional dilution in future funding rounds. The 50% to 75% mentioned below seems aggressive but it all depends on the strength of the company.

Also make sure they don’t have some abnormal vesting schedule. Four year vest with a one-year cliff is still the most common.

Others have linked good resources and I’ll add the Holloway guide.

“We conclude that piracy and similar competitive shocks push firms to innovate to stay ahead of imitator products, and that this effect is moderated by their existing patent portfolios.”

I guess it’s good to study that this is the case, but isn’t this exactly why companies fight piracy and attempt to patent and then enforce those patents? That is to reduce competition and make it easier to extract value from what they’ve produced?

Basically, isn’t the premise that if privacy was rampant and patents didn’t exist then more people and companies would be able to innovate on the technology without fear of a lawsuit? I think of how stagnant the Eink space is, and how much broader usage might that technology get if it wasn’t encumbered by patents (just one example)?

I guess I just don’t find this surprising.

Code dependencies, and how dangerous they can be.

The art of writing code that doesn't build on top of a jenga tower of shit has been lost. It turns every software engineer into a code monkey that, instead of crafting good code, is simply trying to keep the jenga tower from collapsing. Yes, it's faster when getting an MVP up and running, but the quality of apps (and their speed) has gone down drastically over the last 10 years.

...to the point where I no longer enjoy software development, and am actively trying to quit the field.
How is C# higher-level than C? I'm not aware of anything you can do in C that you can't do in C# as a first-class feature.

Edit: I define the level of a language as the lowest-possible feature. I guess others define level as the highest-possible feature? I don't really know who's right here.
Working on environmental issues. That includes myself. It's tough though, the companies I talked last job cycle don't seem to pay anywhere near well as other companies and didn't seem like great companies to work for (benefits, culture, beaurocracy) when interviewing with them.
If it's actually organized crime, then they can be prosecuted under RICO statutes, which allows for much stronger sentencing than shoplifting ever would have. Robbery is one of the 35 crimes included under the "racketeering" umbrella.
> First, internal candidates who were rejected after interviewing with the hiring manager were half as likely to exit as those rejected earlier in the process.

> Second, a rejected candidate’s likelihood of leaving was cut in half if they were passed over in favor of an internal candidate, rather than an external candidate.

Not sure where the headline comes from - it does not summarize the two main findings listed in the article.

Some elaboration: The likelihood of leaving depends on whether or not they were given an interview for the position. If they were given an interview, the headline is not accurate.
Does the mic work in any of these? I found it to be impossible

Re: airpods linux bluetooth -- CLI commands to get bluetooth headphones just to play sound is not viable for Linux to take off.
I have been in the position of interviewing (though not hiring) internal applicants, and I certainly never regarded it oioe that. Its reaooy no different than regular hiring, where everyone is probably okay and we somewhat arbitrarily try to decide who is best.

Eg. If we have 5 internal aplocants for one position, 4 people are going to be rejected. And we certainly did not have contact with their previous team. Actualoy their managee might not even know they were trying to transfer.
But that's not the implication of the study itself, or at least it's not at all obvious. That would be the implication strictly from the headline and a lot of people are making comments that suggest that they only read the headline or perhaps the first two sentences.

The study itself shows that if the company hires someone else from within the organization, the effect disappears. So at very least from the data one can't immediately conclude what you assumed.
Ooooh I spy with my little eye a new Microchip/Atmel SAMA, SAMA7! SAMA7G2 seems like the specific chip. The commits are from April, but best I can tell, no information or releases have been made of this chip by Microchip.

The SAMA5 is from 2013, using a 600MHz Cortex A5. It was and still is a pretty reasonable way to get a small Linux system going. https://www.cnx-software.com/2013/02/05/atmel-introduces-sam...

I just purchased $12,000 worth of fonts and it nearly broke me (mentally) in terms of how to do it the right way across web, desktop and app. The system truly is broken in every regard.
That's literally the definition of disciplining an oscillator:

https://csrc.nist.gov/glossary/term/disciplined_oscillator_d...

For a quartz oscillator, it's typically done by holding the crystal at a constant temperature ("ovenized", "oven controlled"), and then varying its loading capacitance by manipulating the reverse bias voltage of a varactor (a diode whose junction capacitance varies in a well-defined way according to applied voltage). You connect a lots-of-bits DAC and a very stable amplifier to the varactor, and keep all those pieces inside the same oven so they're all isothermal.

Apply a very long time constant (typically on the order of 11h58m out to maybe 2 weeks) to the control loop that drives the DAC, and after a few loop-times you've got a quartz crystal whose period is precisely tuned and whose behavior will remain incredibly stable when the disciplining reference goes away. (As long as you're smart enough to notice the loss of reference and freeze the DAC value, rather than naively assuming there's an enormous difference and slamming the control loop against a limit and destroying your carefully-honed performance. Which is what pretty much everyone implementing this from scratch does at least once.)

For rubidium atomic clocks, the disciplining process is usually done by varying the magnetic field applied to the vapor cell. Since these work by measuring the energy absorbed by a specific hyperfine transition, but that energy is only well-defined at zero static magnetic field, it's necessary for the physics package to cancel out the Earth's magnetic field. This is done with a set of Helmholtz coils, but how do you know how much current to put through them? By comparing the measured frequency with an external reference of higher quality. Since Rubidium oscillators are inherently several orders of magnitude more stable than quartz, this is done with very long time-constants (since any apparent error is probably jitter on the GPS receiver's part).

Ovenized quartz GPSDOs are common at cellular tower sites, whereas rubidium finds more application at central offices. I own clocks that exploit both of these mechanisms. (The rubidium is down right now while I build a new DAC for the tuning voltage that drives the coil current amplifier.)
Yes I've donated to some :)
> Difficult to couple OKRs with tasks

Depends perhaps on what you mean by “task”, but I don’t get this one. Surely your OKRs are how you measure success of most of what you do that quarter, and there are only a few of them. What value does task-level tracking really add?

I’d go as far as saying that task-level tracking may be of value to the individual, but progress generally should be tracked at the level of deliverables and outcomes. When I was a manager, I made a point of not looking at task-level data. To focus on them is a recipe for micromanagement.
Having been on both sides here are my 2c. Pardon any brevity since i’m on mobile and in transit. Id advise reading up on these at this excellent guide (1).

Comp at startups are generally a sliding scale of cash to equity. A typical offer will ask you to slide it one way or another.

To judge stock, ask for,

- 409a valuation to know the current strike price of the shares

- total outstanding fully diluted shares to know the total shares available

- size of the employee option pool (eg, 10-15pct)

- possibility of an 83(b) election

- ISO vs NSO - what kind uf options are they?

- re ups, and anti dilution clauses?

- triggering events (eg what happens when the company gets bought?)

The more you know the better you judge the value. If folks are cagey in giving details, definitely push back and ask why.

Next, consider that the company’s progress is all that determines your shares net worth.

- how much do you believe in this team, space and product?

- and ask yourself - are you able to completely push this into a “lost cause financially” bucket in 5y? or do you need the cash? i’d advise being comfortable with the former :)

lastly, look at how much value you bring to the table to determine how much you get. if you’re engineer 1 with two non tech cofounders - you’d be worth much more than engineer 10. In that case, look at some of the blog posts online (esp by folks like Leo Polovets) on some ways to think about these numbers.

good luck!
