This seems pretty silly, as there is extensive (one might say tedious) detail on why the decisions in a hash function or block cipher were made; your challenge is that you have to do a literature search to collect all the reasons --- but that's science for you.
That sounds like a pretty siloed way to work. Conversations with the people involved is much high bandwidth and full-duplex which increases the odds of understanding the underlying problem and building what people actually want.
how hard is it to build a cabinet ? Do you use real CRT ? (I know there are lots of info on the web, but well, a first hand experience is always nice!)
> By structuring Rose Park as one evergreen fund instead of a typical venture fund, the Christensens were able to invest in a mix of public and private companies .... "“We’re allowed to invest in any type of security in any geography, any industry, any stage, but only when the investment thesis derives from my dad’s research"

Interesting. I would like to see more of that. I am also curious about the evergreen fund structure. I helped form a hedge fund with an aggressive sidepocket , where sidepockets act like a VC fund but without burdening the limited partners with capital calls. But being even more flexible really makes the subscription documents and prospectus complicated, and making additional funds are expensive and time consuming, even as just a family office without outside investors, the separate limited partners are just entities that the family has formed before. Pooling assets from trusts, retirement plans, individual family members, and non-profits like foundations.

I'm mostly confused/inspired by which offshore feeders are being used.
The semi industry is really cutthroat. Outside of US giants, Intel, Nvidia, Quallcomm, and recently AMD, who cream the highest margins as their products are basically irreplaceable, the rest of the semi companies (including most EU ones) are just competing for cost (barring the current shortage where they could amp their prices too).
I just don't think too many people buy tablets. It has its niche, but sales aren't as high as I guess they could be?
Nah, they just want to find the people who are enthusiastically looking to join their organization. They want the mindless drone who will do what they're told and when asked to jump, reply with "how high?"

You didn't meet that criteria otherwise you would have bent over backwards to adjust your schedule to make the proposed time, so "obviously" you don't really want this job enough.
> People behaving like a-holes in public. Yes. Gangs of roma beggars and parking scammers? A given.

As a French guy visiting Albania quite frequently, I can tell you that I feel safer there than in Paris.
People are mostly welcoming. I always travel with Albanian speaking people there, so it might be the reason. I’m pretty confident that it’s much safer than a big American or Western European city.
Let's say you're applying for a position where usual FAANG TC is 300k.

Then Amazon recruiter wants to "match" that, so 300 * 4=1200k over 4 years.

Base pay is maxed at 160 (until today's announcement), so
1200k-(160 * 4) = 560k to come up with with stocks and cash bonus.

Let's say Amazon 30 day moving average share price during negotiation is $1200 a share

So now recruiter must make math such that:

- TC stays relatively flat. On year 3 & 4 you get 40% of award, but only 5% year 1 and 15% year. (so a cash bonus to offset year 1 is ~35% of grant amount, and cash bonus offset year 2 is ~25% of grant amount)

- TC assuming 15% growth of stock

So, they'll offer you 220 units:

Year 1:

with only 5% * 220 * 1200=$13k from RSU, you need (300-160-13)=127k cash bonus , now your TC year 1 is 300k.

Year 2:

15% * 220 * 1200 * 1.15=46k from RSU
So cash bonus of 94k.

Year 3:

40% * 220 * 1200 * 1.15^2=140k RSU
that's 300k of TC

Year 4:

40% * 220 * 1200 * 1.15^3=160k RSU
That's even more, 320k TC \o/

So all the math here is done using fictional share price that grew 1.15^n for each year. But in concrete, your offer says 220 units. If Amazon grew much more than 15% a year, on year 3 you're still making 40% * 220 units, no matter what the share price is.

But the final offer is:

160k / year base, 220 units over 4 year with 5%/15%/40%/40% vesting, and 127k cash bonus year 1 + 94k cash bonus year 2.

Amazon is one of rare FAANG where the RSU offer is given in share count in offer itself, not in $.
I agree that a mistake that has been made has been to force teachers to get graduate degrees and largely incentivize that they earn their master's degree in education. It would be more valuable if they received a master's or doctoral degree in literally anything else.

The problem is that measuring the efficacy of a teacher is a dubious task. What would probably work the best is to incentivize teachers to get advanced degrees outside of the field of education by providing a substantial pay increase upon completion. Right now it is actually harder to get a degree in a field outside of education because in many districts you would need explicit permission from a supervisor to be reimbursed for a non-education degree versus an education degree that requires no permissions for reimbursement.

An advanced degree does not make a great teacher, but it does provide some solid foundational knowledge.

Haha, nice, mine came with the apartment. It's funny how quickly we take things for granted. It does indeed save a lot of time.
Every time a "JavaScript is bad!" thread is feature it leads to nothing but the same old tired arguments too, so I don't see why that's a barometer for quality.
This was a pretty interesting adicle until the sales started in earnest. Tines looks mildly interesting, but it's wildly expensive and the community edition isn't available on-premises, so it's a hard pass from me. Plus, I'm immediately skeptical of any company that crows about anything Gartner-related.

After further investigation, it seems that Google does have level 3 for the HSM part (similar to Hyper Protect of IBM). Its level 1 for the software components, which is practically one of the highest possible.

The question changes then to why did Google not pursue level 4.
> Why is the Sheriff doing it on the federal agency's behalf?

1. Because his department (and possibly him specifically?) get a kickback from the federal agency on asset seizures.

2. To deny that he is simply pocketing the money for his department on his own authority.
This article is a lengthy preamble to an advertisement for a SaaS product, but I'm thankful you at least get to a conclusion before the evangelism begins: there's a basic pattern here, i.e. "get data from X, transform it, and put it in Y", and the tools, systems, and platforms listed are all solutions to the same basic problem.

I'm sure there's a use case and a market for this product, but I'd wager that I'm not alone among the HN audience in thinking that I'd rather have a couple shell scripts in a Docker container on my own hardware or whatever than spend a bunch of money irreversibly trapping my automations in some proprietary cloud-hosted thing where they can be held ransom come the renewal date.
> So, yes: proper conversion to a polygonal mesh with fine control matters a great deal.

Sure, but the output conversion tools shouldn't be built around the render mesh. Any CAD tool worth it's salt should be able to take the best underlying representation of the model and give you an .stl with arbitrary precision. Every time I've ever exported a mesh from a NURBS modeller, I've gotten a dialog that lets you choose parameters.

I'm not so experienced with standalone renderers (I usually only need the built-in ones), but the mesh that the CAD program uses to render should basically only be used for that purpose. Most programs shouldn't even give you access to it unless you open it up and look and the guts.
There's a difference between frugality and necessity though...
I've played with Lego (never Legos) since 1980. I love the modern sets. The branded sets, to me, make it even more fun. You can mix a Batman mini-fig and use the branded parts to make an uber-Batmobile of your own design. The Star Wars kits are fantastic. I actually bought all the Friends sets for myself because the brick colors are great.

Even today I opened my mail to find a teddy bear valentine's heart Lego set from my girlfriend that is constructed from clever use of generic bricks, none of which would have been out of place in 1970s sets. In fact, I think Lego has become 100X more creative since the advent of the Internet, where people are making the more insane and elaborate constructions from the simplest bricks. It's become competitive in the nicest way.

Lego today is thriving and is better than it ever was.
I agree with everything you said, but I feel that you're missing the point here.

The issue is not _that_ the episodes were deleted.

The issue is that social pressure resulted in removal of information from (what is considered by most as) the "public realm". This information comes in the form of "open" (seeming) discussion with people who hold various views. This type of debate and discussion should be encouraged by our society.

This stands in stark contrast with the profit motivator that drives those who govern these "public realm"-ish services. This is not a matter of the free market being free, but more that our society is becoming greatly dependent on services that are intrinsically business driven. Those services being seen as the "open forum" that they are not needs to be fixed.
Gmail is all "you are the product" free though.

They're getting all that data from your e-mail and can chew it up and sell it back to other businesses (apparently they don't use it to target ads at you any more, but you can be certain they're still harvesting data).

I'm fairly sure collecting all that data is core to their business model and they'd never make it paid.
Order status update might not be valuable, but the knowledge that you purchased product X is. That's a biggie for targeted ads.

The Uyghur Genocide is probably not feeling this phenomenon too much, though I brought it up because that was one of the original reasons for the take down in the article. I imagine if you even know about the Uyghur Genocide you're probably more informed than most and can separate the CCP from your everyday citizen. But if the concerns are real and this turns violent against Chinese students, then my comment stands relevant.

The Covid + China example is very real, though.
It’s easy and comforting to imagine that someone getting paid more than you must also suffer more than you – certainly well paid doctors and lawyers and investment bankers seem to suffer terrible working conditions – but it isn’t really true. A software developer earning an ordinary good salary (say $80k-$120k to pick some reference point) isn’t going to be working ‘harder’ than someone with a more manual job[1] earning much less pay or indeed your equivalent software developer in a poorer country, and unlike a skilled tradesman, the programmer is unlikely to reach 40 in a terrible physical condition with his muscles shot and some kind of chronic joint pain. And warren buffet is unlikely to be working much harder than the CEO of some smaller company.

Most of the reason those big companies can pay software developers so we’ll is that they are worth it, and they can be worth it because they have more leverage: if you do something that causes a small company to be 1% better, and if that same thing would make a small part of a massive company 0.5% better, the latter can be worth a lot more just because the denominator is so much bigger. It feels harder to explain why they must pay so much. The first order argument is that there is lots of demand for software developers and that pushes up the price, but these companies are active in markets where developers are paid less well (e.g. Europe) and they could adjust hiring to favour candidates who are good but less competitive (e.g. because they are bad at a particular kind of interview) so I don’t understand why market forces haven’t lead to things being more balanced.

>But we're not talking about the government, we're talking about private platforms. Others are allowed to spread misinfo if they so choose.

Yes, but we are. A lot of the COVID misinformation isn't declared misinformation because the fact-checker isn't an expert at COVID, it's because they are cross checking it with what the government says (CDC/NIH/etc). So the fact checker is using the government's facts, so imagine if they used the government's facts on race during the Jim Crow era.

>Fact checking is an attempt at objectivity that is nevertheless partially subjective, but that doesn't mean it's not better than doing nothing.

Depends on who is doing the fact checking. To continue with the prior hypothetical, what if someone stated in 2003 that there weren't WMD's in Iraq. The fact checkers would check with the government's facts who states there were WMD's in Iraq. The fact checker (not an expert on WMDs) would possibly label that as misinformation. In this example, it would be better to have done nothing.

In the situation where the facts are whatever the government says, that's not fact-checking or journalism at all, that's just being a mouthpiece to power.
Not everyone can learn to code at a high level for one reason or another. They should still be able to feed and house their family if gainfully employed full time.
To be clear, I’m not saying they will or won’t succeed! And the converse is true too!

If through their actions FSD is ultimately delayed a year, then they contributed to extended the carnage of human driven automobiles.

The point is the scale of the problem, and how valuable it is to solve it.
