Craig has struck me in the past as a highly technical person who knows a surprising amount of details about the technologies behind Apple products. He has struck me as someone who is simply passionate about the software Apple builds rather than a salesman or someone with operational experience.

While I absolutely think he could be a great CEO, he wouldn't be playing to all his strengths.

Also Indian here. If the OP is used to cubes of sugar, he’s probably quite wealthy in India. Indian middle class consumers usually use granulated sugar as the cubes are more expensive, and middle class Indian consumers are usually quite price sensitive.
Being quite good at two things can sometimes be much more advantageous than being top notch at just one thing.
Amazing work, however having burned $ in well researched stock (looking at you HYLN) i decided to go back to value investing
The dithered images on the site are approximations of continuous tone images. But dithered images of this sort are inefficient approximations, so the page is actually wasting bytes compared to just using plain old JPEGs with appropriate size/quality settings.
This page says that webp produces smaller images…
I think crystals need the required substance to be liquid to grow? If you just put salt grains near each other you don't get a crystal, you need to dissolve it in water or to melt it.

relocate - to where exactly?

There are two major manufacturing hubs in the world - east Asia and central Europe. Labor costs in manufacturing around the world have equalized to start at around $12/h. Slightly more in automotive. Average wage (whole economy) in Guangdong is ~$10/h. Labor cost in Poland is ~$13/h. The days of labor cost arbitrage are over

One can find cheaper labor, but it's always at the cost of worse infrastructure, missing supply chains or increased shipping costs. This is not pharma or silicon, where value per kilogram makes the cost of shipping is negligible. Manufacturing and assembly of heavy items like cars, trains or construction materials is nearly always near-shored
The issue is that browsers don't like 3rd party cookies used in iframe. But there is not a suitable alternative completely replacing cookies

Your comment reminds me of a friends recommendation to watch The Arrow. “The first two seasons are really bad, but if you stick through it they become ok”

It’s ok to not want to watch a show that sucks originally. We don’t need to watch it to completion in order to pass judgement on something that just didn’t hit the mark.
I'm not worshipping anything here. Why are you unable to stop talking in this silly way? And when did I mention lone inventors?

Thanks, I love this sort of thing. I'm always amazed how advanced we were throughout history, mostly with war.
I think you are in the sweet spot. Equity compensation drops fast for early employees. Roughly, the first employee might get 1-2%, but by employee #10 it is down to 0.25-0.1%. At that level, you would still need a billion dollar exit to get into FU money territory.

And keep in mind, at the early stage startups salaries are often lower and the startup is likely pre product market fit.
So it is much more risky. Employee #100 feels like the sweet spot because it likely means the startup has found product market fit and is hitting the accelerator re growth, but you still get a taste of early employee equity.

Of course this is just in terms of maximizing "IPO lottery" potential. If you are trying to maximize probable net worth, FAANG probably wins due to higher compensation.

Is it that everyone thinks that, and it's not true, or is it true but doesn't have to be true?
Wow so many gems in here that I’ve been waiting for (though some still experimental).

- better cli (previously was a myriad of shell scripts you’d just had to memorize, and would do the non-typical thing by default if you didn’t pass many arguments)

- flakes (will make nix more nix. Currently we need checkouts of entire nixpkgs to run two versions of the same software alongside, it is my understanding that with flakes this will become more easy and lightweight to pull off)

- markdown docs

This last one shouldn’t be understated I feel. Docs have always been a pain point with Nix to the point where insiders joke about it with an affection almost. I feel due to many core contributors having academic backgrounds and the generally steeper learning curve with Nix, they have been susceptible to embrace “quantifiably superior documentation formats”, blindspotting the effects of markdown being the lingua franca lowering the barrier to entry for people contributing fixes by so much—perhaps because this is less easy to quantify, and perhaps less easy to appreciate for folks that were okay to learn Nix in its current state the first place.

Anyway, thanks everyone for putting in the hard work, this will pave the way to a bright future for Nix I am sure.
Please do write this up. What a fantastic experience to learn more about !
There's a market rate dictated by supply and demand for labor.

In some lines of business you can overpay and do ok. But imagine a restaurant paying double the wage of one next door. Likely this reflects through into pricing and makes them non-competitive/prone to failure, as restaurants are low margin businesses.

The US has had a large surplus of low skilled labor for the past few decades, thus low bargaining power. There's a pretty obvious reason why, but I'll leave it for you to guess.
Thus, one sloppy review by that known tired-in-the-mornings dev, "sure thing, looks like Java..", and your little marking is missed?
I do if I need to spend time learning something specific to their application or business. And I tell the customer that up-front. I may propose alternatives that I am more familiar with. A couple of times the customer has assigned one of their own developers rather than pay me to learn something, but that’s been rare.

Yeah, numerous commenters from the North East came to point out how wrong I was about their town. I wasn't talking about visiting the burbs, and neither were they but I agree, there are a lot more big box stores in large suburbs.

What I was really getting at is if they're missing small mom and pop stores, that's most of what the town I grew up in had (specifically in the South, but the Midwest isn't that much different.) I was encouraging them to get out of the city and see the rest of America. Living in big American cities has been a bit soul-sucking for me and not at all reflective of the rest of America, but obviously there's a lot of pride that some people hold for them.

There wasn't this loud of a chorus continuously yelling that Madoff and Gox were scams, in every possible media outlet from blogs to Bloomberg, for seven years.

There wasn't a well publicized US federal indictment and investigation of Madoff and Gox, settled with a fine and no injunction.

I'm not saying Tether is clean or 100% funded, I don't know. But unlike Madoff and Gox, accusations have been very loud and very public for a very long time, and the market still accepts USDT at parity with USD.

If Tether's treasury is empty, and if people can freely trade USDT for USD, it wouldn't hold 1:1.

Carpentry is an ancient profession, and still respected to this day. Though modern carpentry is a complex profession akin to engineering, it is colloquially viewed as simple enough for laymen to understand its concepts and tools.

Additionally, carpentry as a hobby is relatively popular both for its practicality and its relatively low bar of entry, with much room to develop and expand.
Webiny (YC W21) Is Hiring – Technical Content Writer
Thanks for your analysis, I appreciate it. I was kinda saying, "hey why don't we have LaserDisc sized hard drive platters, they would be HUGE!". Using lots of smaller disks has so many advantages after I thought about it. One being additive bandwidth, if a single disk is 0.2GB/s if I need 400GB/s I know I need at least 200 disks to hit average write rates of 0.4TB/s.

Speaking of tape like behavior, it would seem that SMR would benefit a whole bunch from multiple actuators. It seems like rather than having dual actuators, as that doubles the number of simultaneous streams, it would help with lots of shared workload, but really that problem should be solved somewhere else -OR- widening the read head by some multiple. Instead of using a record player needle, use a rake. Interleave the tongues so there are like k tracks between splines. Also reduces the actuator travel distance.

We should think of individual drives not as DIMMs but the individual chips themselves. They can be remixed into what ever your workload demands.
Yes, but CEOs arent in charge of how much they make. Labour is priced by the market. Prices aren't "decided" by anyone -- this is just something newspapers rant about to create outrage.
It really makes you wonder how scalable those rates are if that is true. In the sense that if the pool of depositors grow, it will become increasingly hard to find borrowers with this profile. There is simply a limit on the number of such speculators.
I think I had a quarter of "meets expectations" as the last review cycle I completed - As my team was dissolving. It was ~ the start of next review cycle when I was asked to leave.
JavaScript Set Methods You Should Master Today
The same way all commodity pricing is determined - when you don’t get enough of what you want, you pay more, or go somewhere there’s more supply.

A “better” CEO would surely minimize labor expenses, by automating, moving to cheaper regions, etc. In most businesses, labor is the largest expenditure.
So the bank really should be asking for a copy of the will rather than a certificate of marriage.
Suffered from severe depression, performance tanked, went on a pip at Google, failed it (deservedly) and was given a few months paid notice. I don't blame them, it was a long time where I wasn't performing. Found a new job, started exercising, thrived since.
Wealth is relative. Yes you can be so poor that you can't afford enough calories to become obese. It's rare in the developed world.

But you can also be so poor that you can afford calories, alcohol and little more as an entertainment. It's easy to get obese then.

Recommend reading "Four Thousand Weeks" by Oliver Burkeman. It's about time management, but not the traditional "how to get everything done" sense. He talks about what a normal person can do with their "4000 weeks", or, roughly speaking, their life. If you do decide to go back to work, I'm sure you'll approach it in a very different way. I'm a lot older than you, but I'm also 6 months off work on a break. I'm doing a lot of non-tech stuff (DIY, cycling, running, reading, adopting two greyhounds). But I am planning on heading back to work soon. I didn't win the IPO lottery, but my house is paid off and I live frugally. I could probably do nothing for another year, but it's time I went back to work. I'm just going to approach it very differently this time around. My father is very old, and I lost my sister three years ago. People matter.
The point is the amount of compensation you could give to workers from reducing CEO pay is insignificant when you divide it by the number of workers, even if you imagine an unrealistically extreme reduction in CEO pay.
Quit a job 5 months ago. Working as a crypto engineer, have made a couple years salary in the last year, so I could afford to take a couple months off. Spent the intervening time with my partners, and doing personal writing. A lot of the reason I was building or learning felt driven by insecurity about what my peers were doing, and I was just going through the motions at work, and not feeling emotionally in control.

Taking time off put me emotionally back in the driver's seat. I don't build stuff because I'm keeping up with imaginary peers anymore, and my relationships have improved dramatically. I know what my values are again.

Also, I configured emacs.
> I don't buy this at all. The container runtime probably needs root privileges, but individual containers rarely need privileged access. Moreover, in many (all?) cases we can use security policies to prevent root containers by default.

Ha, little do you know. It's common to bind-mount various system directories or UNIX sockets into the container. Also, does it matter when you're running a full OS inside the container anyways?

Hosting providers is a tiny slice of the pie, most Docker users are simple end-users looking to run random internet software. (E.g., Docker is the only way to install third-party software on LibreELEC, a simple media center OS for the living room TV.)

The BBC used to nationally broadcast Monty Python doing Nazi satire replete with costumes and salutes. But a few years ago the British government opted to prosecute a man who uploaded to YouTube a satirical video training his Pug to do a Nazi salute.

British tolerance for Swiftian expression seems to be regressing lately.
The problem is that Zuck with his majority control can't really point to anyone but himself as the cause of Facebook's poor reputation.

Him at the helm of a Meta that includes Facebook and Instagram means that it will be 10x harder to differentiate past/ongoing/future abuses in their advertising-driven content products, even if they took a stance that the rest of Meta should try to be based on product/marketplace monetization.
I haven’t read anything political on there. Why is wanting to reduce energy consumption „political“. It’s just plain old frugalism mixed with environmental concerns.

A PhD is a journey of self discovery. There's something uniquely fulfilling about being on the edge of human knowledge on one particular subject and pushing that edge a tiny bit. No one does a PhD for the money. Even if you don't get any skills from your PhD which I'm sure you will (data analytics, writing, etc...) you'll certainly gain a boost in self confidence and first hand experience in managing a research project.

* Lead / Senior Front-end Engineer for Design Systems

* Location: Europe

* Remote: Yes

* Willing to relocate: No

* Technologies: React, TypeScript, UX/UI Design, NextJs

* Résumé/CV: http://metamn.io/

* Email: bartus.csongor@gmail.com

I'm a Computer Scientist, and a self-taught UX/UI designer with works featured in online galleries.

The last 15 years I've been designing and developing websites and applications from back-end to front-end, from architecture to UX/UI design, on various stacks.

The last year I've spent studying Design Systems. This is where I shine today: rolling out scalable user interfaces, bridging the gap between design and engineering.

My current stack is React, Typescript, CSS-in-JS and I work remote.
This is actually one of the most honest takes on the UK/Europe vs US undergrad formats.

1. Take up and learn about investing. Managing large amounts of money can be a part-to-full time job, and not knowing key mechanics will cause you to get screwed or be at the mercy of others.

2. Find love but keep your wealth a secret until you're sure they are the One and financially responsible. Love comes undone fast over money, and you'll probably need a pre-nup to avoid getting cut in half if things go south. Easier if your partner is also a professional and has assets which goes back to them being financially responsible.

3. Establish a relationship with a law firm. You never know when you're going to need them.

4. Build those software projects you've always wanted to.
Yes, much more so than the people making the actual products...

Made far worse by the current trend to maximize code readability and organization by using as many dependencies as humanly possible for even the simplest of tasks.

The current trend is to maximize readability in development and then to use a build pipeline to remove as much of that readability as possible and optimize for size in production.

There is only a very loose relationship between what code looks like when you're writing it and what actually pops out of a compiler or bundler to go to production. You could write something close to plain English these days (literate programming with something like Observable), with a ton of dependencies, and still get a reasonably well-optimized website after a bundler does some tree-shaking, dead code removal, transpiling and minification.

It's complicated, sure, but your complaint here is the exact reason why it's complicated. We want to easy to write and understand human-optimized code for dev, and to use that to deliver an Internet- and browser-optimized bundle to the user. The step in the middle of those is complex.
No, in fact - Transferring to another team was discouraged, because I was "under-preforming".
