I'm Doeke, one of the Founders of Instant Commerce and leading the Engineering team. Start of this year we closed a funding round from Firstminute capital and a bunch of amazing angels such as the Founder & CEO of Storyblok (Dominik) and the Founder & CEO of Supercell (Ilkka). We are looking for passionate developers to be part of our engineering team; you can apply via the links above. I hope to speak soon!
I am doing the same thing, work felt pointless, just like you I was sitting in useless meetings and not growing, remote working made it worse. I got so depressed and stressed for nothing. Now I've been off for two months doing all sorts of fun coding stuff, and I feel like a new man.

Too many big corps hiring developers for no reason, too many bullsh*t jobs (RIP David Graeber) that stifle our ability to enjoy life. We may get paid really well but for some reason, attending useless meetings and reacting to slack notifications and outlook pings kill my energy.
Hi, I work on the ActivityInfo team where we make software supporting humanitarian relief, from Venezuela to Yemen to the Ukraine and 60 other countries. We have a few open positions: https://www.activityinfo.org/about/careers/index.html

yea the webpage is wildly incorrect, wikipedia is right
Facebook was always doomed for failure, just like every social platform that came before it. The pivot should've happened years ago with a focus on Instagram and content creation (their shot at streaming was at least in the right direction).

At this point, Facebook has simply waited entirely too long, and the likelihood of any pivot working for a company of their size is basically nonexistent.
What? Is this really happening?
Anybody want to summarize the "scathing 233-page opinion" how Qualcomm's patent licensing "violated American antitrust law". This article basically explains how Qualcomm was intelligent about protecting their proprietary position. It does not seem to explain how that protection was illegal.
For real, it almost read like a thinly veiled burn on Mark to me. Like, "give me some space Mark, you don't need to be up in my business constantly".
Yeah it’s almost certainly related to this. Timing is too close.
I am always deeply saddened by the fact that so much of our digital social infrastructure was built by a company with little humanity. How many interactions have been enhanced, as opposed to monetized, by Facebook technology? My understanding is Sheryl was a supporter of this numbers based approach to the business, and maybe this will be a change for the better.
I recall hearing another firm that did sabbaticals usually meant the employee was just getting ready to leave. People would spend a few months doing some travelling, relaxing, leetcode and interviewing - with safe fall back in case they didn't get anything.
One might argue that is many peoples' real version of themself.

It is definitely useful to be able to consume a lot of data quickly, especially high-cardinality data. Inevitably, an infinite flood of data will eventually consume any finite space limitations. I'm wondering what QuestDB's story for data aggregation and cleanup looks like?
Almost everyone I know under 50 uses WhatsApp and/or Instagram multiple times per day.
Yeah, what a bunch of assholes.
Meta reported revenue of $27.9 billion in Q1 2022. They will continue making billions from ads for decades even if the metaverse play goes nowhere. But if you believe that VR/AR is going to eventually go mainstream then Meta is positioned to be a player in that market, even if it’s just a 2nd or 3rd place player that’s potentially billions in additional revenue.
One major problem is “what’s included/removed in this veil of ignorance?”

Rawls likely would have excluded sexual orientation and gender identity.

It also requires imagination some people don’t have: “I’m a member of the elite caste, but if I were a member of the lower caste I would accept my position.” And perhaps they would have.
I've heard that before, but I'm not sure what it means in practice.

ive always wondered what would happen if the remote employee just said they were not going back in the office. if said employer wanted to terminate the employee wouldn't that grant the employee to severance, or unemployment benefits at the minimum?

NFTs are not securities any more than Furbies or Cabbage Patch dolls or baseball cards or Magic: The Gathering limited edition packs.

This argument doesn't hold water because the Howey test is very clear about what defines a security and art based NFTs are no such thing. Just because some people speculate on a commodity going higher in price does not make it a security.

He is not being charged with insider trading. There is no argument even being put forth by the DOJ that he violated securities laws. He's being charged with wire fraud and money laundering.
Transit app | Backend developer | Montreal | ONSITE | Full-Time | transitapp.com | Company size: 70ish people

Transit is a team of sustainability-minded engineers sailing against the headwinds of car-oriented transportation. We build an app used by millions of people that makes it significantly easier to get around cities without owning an automobile: foregoing the hype around autonomous/electric cars, we are focused on reviving an old and glorious technology (public transportation) which we vehemently believe is urban America's best bet to curb systemic traffic, traffic deaths, pollution, and urban sprawl.

We make public transportation more practical and accessible in a variety of ways. At our core we are a consumer app for open mobility: we not only help our riders find information for public transportation, like arrival times and disruption info. We help them plan trips that involve connections between bikeshare, scooters, ridehail and public transit — we've got the richest playground of mobility APIs around, and we're adding new systems every week. Increasingly this involves payment information. It's hard to imagine a time in which booking airline tickets (or ridehails) required manually stitching together each trip leg yourself — but this is the everyday lived experience of our riders. By giving them an app to plan and pay for any trip (even when it involves more than one transit agency, or more than one mode), we're able to take the convenience of expensive transportation modes, and extend it to the most popular and least expensive forms of urban transportation.

We're hiring for a Node.js/Python Backend developer: https://transitapp.com/jobs/real-time-data

We're beloved by cities, transit agencies, and our riders. Our day-to-day work slashes CO2 emissions and traffic deaths, while making cities more beautiful places to live. What can we say. It's a nice perk of our jobs.

If you'd like to join us in making public transportation more dependable in your city (and 200+ others) our team of friendly Canadians would love to hear from ya: jobs@transitapp.com

The biggest factor influencing long term stock returns in real growth in earnings.

Companies don't pay out all profits to shareholders as dividends. They can also reinvest in their own business (e.g. build a new factory) or buy back shares.

The go-forward nominal rate of return on stocks should be higher than the inflation rate + the dividend yield. The nominal rate of return could be closer to shareholder yield + inflation (shareholder yield is the dividend yield + share buybacks). I think the real earnings growth is the best predictor of long term returns. Earnings growth is correlated with population growth & productivity growth, but those aren't the only important variables.

Prepared months in advance, but there's some flexibility on the exact timing of the announcement.

EDIT: Apparently this was not actually prepared months in advance.

I'd post the last *.ics I had to parse, but it has personal info in it.

From the BEGIN:VCALENDAR line all the way down to the description being littered with \n line breaks, it is not very human readable.
I use it everyday. What’s up?
"Linux" was forced on him.
It drove me out before I even got there! (pre-masters)
Negotiate a percentage of profits on your next venture with the company.
Ok I figured, but it seemed more deadpan than usual so I was unsure.
Well the epic stock slide over past few months would tell you investors are highly cautious about the company’s future.
If you have an ok relationship with your manager, I don't think it would hurt to run it by them. I've seen several engineers pull this sort of thing off over the years. As a manager myself, if one of my engineers who has been with the company for a while came to me asking for this, I would definitely support them. In this climate, the alternative is that they will probably quit entirely which would be a much larger loss.
There are provinces other than Ontario despite what Ontarians might believe ;)

(Relatively) larger city in Saskatchewan. Not downtown either!
I think things like orbital decay and coverage per satellite are the more serious concerns.

I mean, LEO is still harder to reach out to than almost anywhere on Earth.

The main deterrent to attacking our assets in LEO or on Earth is that such an act would at least have some serious political fallout, and potentially start a war depending on how annoying it is.
I don't know, destruction is almost always easier than construction. And China demonstrated an anti-satellite laser already.
Javier Olivan, the company’s chief growth officer, will take over as COO this fall, a spokesperson told CNBC. Sandberg will continue to serve on Meta’s board of directors.
(https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/01/facebook-coo-sheryl-sandberg...)
The article itself explains that.
Now thats some messed up environment to start with, I could do such thing in any of the companies I've worked in last 18 years (cca 6). The worst to expect would be no. Quitting in this case should be a nice plus if one has experience to offer on the market afterwards.

I myself asked and got it, went backpacking 2x in himalayas each time for 3 months, and came back a different, better person. Still riding the wave that experience brought. I dont care about money lost due to this, at the end its just a number that wouldnt change anything in my life. The younger to do this the better.
> Linux was just not mature or stable enough for big iron nor servers for popular websites,

On the other hand, I absolutely made no claims about taking over. That's not the argument I have with what you said.

But I was running, or involved in the running of, large and popular production websites in 2006 that absolutely ran on Linux in the datacenter. There were BSD machines in the mix, sometimes as frontend proxies, but the actual website software and the bulk of the compute power of the sites were Linux.

That’s the claim I’m making and i make it because i lived it: Linux was used by popular websites in 2006, regardless of your claims of overall popularity.
I don't get it. You don't have to look at your phone and you get turn-by-turn in your HUD by using Apple Maps?
Is that an exorbitant amount of money for maintaining a (global?) digital map? Google messes up our sense of value with their ad money.

SO if your local mommy group uses facebook... are you going to ask all 50 of them to switch to signal/telegram/vk/whatever? Are they going to do this just for you?
Yep, that's a very interesting Wikipedia article.

One thing that surprised me is that most of the needles reentered within 3 years. They have a pretty large surface area per unit mass, so the effects of the very thin atmosphere up there is maximized.

Normally a satellite at 3,500 km would take centuries to decay.

There are some clumps of needles still up there. One not-well-understood thing is how many small clumps remain -- the clumps which are too small to be seen on radar.
> I do wish we spent more on bike paths and infrastructure. It's much cheaper than any of the other transit initiatives. However, it becomes very difficult to use them if you have to drop off kids in the morning.

Out of curiosity, could you put the kids in one of those child trailers, or on a cargo bicycle?

> When you add crime, COVID-19, pollution, etc. into the mix the case for just staying home seems even better.

This reads like (though I don't know the parent at all) the argument of someone who doesn't spend time in cities or who just doesn't value what cities offer.

Crime rates are pretty low in cities (despite the media campaign trying to say how dangerous they are); pollution is mostly non-existent in most cities in economically advanced countries. Cities have services and experiences that are not available anywhere else. Where else can you find the food, music, arts, etc. that are in NY? The people? The public beauty such as the architecture?
Reading that guff on the news page [0] made me want to reach for the sick-bag. Do big corporations really think anyone believes this "It's all about you. We love you so much..." bullshit?

I think you're both choosing to believe the reality you want to be true, as opposed to the one that actually is. To interpret her comment they way both of you are doing seems like reaching at best, and malicious at worst. I am no fan of FB or Zuck, but come on.
I think Sheryl is going out near the top here. She literally rode this generation of SV wave from the beginning. From a Larry Summers’ protege to one of the most influential executives on the planet. Despite all the negatives associated with Facebook, I think she was the best thing to happen to FB and Mark Zuckerberg.
Just started a new job. Last place had people without technical or domain knowledge trying to lead a project that really needed both of those. New place seems much better.

Also the new place only wants me on site when there's a specific need, not 'just because'. I hear from a former colleague that they interviewed for my replacement, offered the job to someone and he turned them down because he's not interested in being on site just because either.
Agreed that FB hasn’t actually proven they can build something from scratch that reaches critical mass. They would’ve have been long doomed had they not bought Instagram. Every other popular app eg Oculus and Whatsapp was also acquired.
There's also progv which, off the top of my head, is the only thing in the CL standard that lets you establish bindings (dynamic only for obvious reasons) on a non-constant list of symbols.
I may be in the minority here but IMO the only really legitimate purpose a "Tim Horton's app" would have for accessing location data would be to push offers to you when you're near one of their stores, and that should be opt-in not a default. Also, there's no legitimate reason for them to actually be storing the data - it's an app that you use to purchase coffee from retail locations, it doesn't need to track me 24/7 and store the info in a database. The number of apps that ask me for permission to access my Location, Contacts, Phone, Microphone, Camera, etc. is appalling. I feel like we need to revisit the whole idea of telemetry in mobile apps, like start over from scratch.
Interesting...what's the end game, play hard ball if they are not rival shopping or give in if they are?
I just entered a week of what is called PI planning in SAFe.

What the fuck is going on in the world of software delivery.

100 people has to spend 4 days planing 3 months ahead based on headlines from the business.

I have in my 22 years of professional experience never ever tried anything so shocking.

Fire me. Please
True, but not the support of colleagues and work that puts it into practice.

Reading about Foobars at Scale isn't the same as working on them at Netflix or wherever. (Even if you try to put what you read into practice and it's somehow free/cheap to deploy at massive scale and load test it, it's still not the same.)
Many governments are currently regulating Starlink operations in their countries. The while the FAA and NASA have an outsized role, the US alone isn’t enough to make Starlink commercially viable.

You personally may not benefit, but LEO internet constellations really do solve a major issue for many people.
Taiwanese even use it as some sort of blogging platform.
Yes and no.

On the one hand I do find it to be an example of civilizational inadequacy and I am critical of my state and local government as a result.

On the other hand, I have made a decision to live in a very, very rural place that has almost nothing at all in common with the very urban place you describe living in.
Absolutely. I recently explained this to my retiree mother-in-law who was overpaying taxes each year for fear that she'd owe money at the end of the tax year, forgetting that every dollar she overpays is another dollar she's drawing down from her saving that isn't earning (modest) interest.

Not that I can claim I'm being any smarter. I really should instruct my employer to reduce my tax withholdings, as I'm saving into a tax advantaged account to which contributions result in an income deduction. Every dollar I get at the end of the tax year in a refund is a dollar I'm not saving during the year (thus losing out on some long-term gains).

But at least I know better. ;)
