Big tech has high attrition rates. There are several reasons:

1. Compensation structure. Hiring bonuses are easier to get than equivalent stock grants. So it's common for folks to boomerang around FAANG for 5-10 years.

2. Attrition from industry. If you're a committed DINK and manage your career well, you can semi-retire in your mid 30s.

3. After a few years at FAANG, you can "trade up" to a high-status/high-leverage position outside FAANG without too devastating of a compensation hit (especially relative to CoL).

4. FAANG is kinda brutal for lots of reasons. It's like the day-to-day PITA of enterprise with the competition/politics of a hedge fund after a certain level.
One could do preprocessing like edge detection with this, like happens in biological retinas. Then a lot less data needs to be processed down the line.
I think they want to provide the "I forgot my password and lost all my devices" convenience. People hate loosing their data and loosing access to a lot of passwordless services would be a nightmare. In general I'm super weary of anybody who promises to have no access to my account and then offers any reset password functionality.

Alternatively, note could retain value while the underlying Bitcoin becomes worthless; the Internet may have become irreparably fragmented by the collapse of global civilization, and fancy rainbow paper money will carry value because you can see it, smell it, and hold it while numbers in a database will be worthless because you can't verify that database against anyone else's database over a nonexistent network fabric (and that's if you can even get enough electricity to run the algorithms to do the public-key verification).

100 years of future time can be just full of surprises.

I work in an academic lab and develop pipelines for processing raw data to get people tables to analyze. Would this be a good solution for me to allow labmates who aren't very good with the command line to run those pipelines? We run the pipelines on HPC cluster, would I need to spin up a server that sits between the cluster and interval, or could I somehow run the backend directly on the cluster?
World Bank dims outlook for global economy amid Russia war
Is it really necessary to establish the necessity of strategic domestic manufacturing capabilities in a post COVID world? We saw what happened when there was enormous need for masks, then later vaccines. The fact is that Germany as a nation that has so much of its economy linked to high tech manufacturing uniquely would benefit from securing a most domestic chip supply. The evidence for why it is necessary has already been laid bare in the past few years. The Chinese are already massively subsidizing their fabs. So is South Korea, Taiwan, and all the other major players. If you want fabs you must subsidize or die.
That's fair.

It's wordier, but more accurate, to say that I think society is (and should be) in a constant conversation with itself, deciding what to prohibit and to what extent. We regularly get this wrong, and we should never assume that our current collective position is unassailable; there should always be room for doubt and further discussion.
I feel like I just saw the CS-pandering version of those late night ads for "collectible gold coins".

I believe they're saying that the manufacturer will sign the video, not the filmer. Those signatures can then be validated by platforms that the video is uploaded to. The signature isn't supposed to say "this video came from person X" it's supposed to say "this video in fact came from the real world".
Direct implies that you can manipulate Bitcoin at the protocol/technology level.

These are indirect effects as they are events that occur outside of Bitcoin but cause people who have Bitcoin to sell or trade it.

You can cause panic in traditional finance markets, too. It's the exact same principle at play.
Hector Martin and others have had decent success with reverse engineering so far.
“ The problem perhaps is that the DA's methods would require decades to show some results, but they aren't going to be given that much time.”

Or they may not take that long to show results but if we simply allow people to swap out a known for an unknown each time they’re fed up with the apparent lack of action or results of something then that just rewards those that benefit from it without having them have to do the work of convincing anyone that their person will do better because of what they’re promising to do rather than just “we’re not that guy.” I’m not convinced that things have gotten bad enough in SF that “anyone but Chesa” is a strong enough argument and I think he deserves to be allowed to work out the remainder of his term and be judged on that basis. Any opposition after that can come in the form of an actual candidate that has to run an actual campaign to at least give the people some chance of understanding what that candidate’s stances are.
It very much matters if the former #1 CO2 producer slows down. Look back at predictions from say 1990 or even 2000 and global CO2 emissions are much lower than predicted. That is progress.

Climate change is cumulative so both reducing past emissions, reducing growth in emissions, and slowing down future emissions matter, but the sooner you start the less rapid the change needs to be.

That’s especially true when for example old cars are exported to developing countries. Those hybrids people bought in 2010 are going to end up in South America, Africa, India etc.

Early stage / Non-technical / Founder community
Hey Folks! Looking for a hands-on community for early-stage tech teams, PMs, and founders? If you’d like to join a cohort-based fellowship early-technical or for non-technical teams to learn how to “talk tech” and manage technical projects, learn more and sign up at https://tn.academy/

We’re building this community because for early/non-technical entrepreneurs who are learning how to build a tech product, it can be a lonely road. You don’t need to build tech, but you do need to talk tech. And for people who haven’t built tech before, you need to learn that skill set quickly. We are a community of entrepreneurs who are building our businesses while learning how to manage a product team and “talk tech” together.

This is not an accelerator, and it’s not a course. This is a peer-led community of non-technical people who commit to learning how to build tech startups together. We’ll be hosting curated working groups where you can work on tech ideas together, helping each other through the product development lifecycle. We’ll be inviting experienced industry professionals to host Q&As about tech, and sharing resources on how to build that tech product of your dreams. We just ask for your active participation (~4-8 hours / month) in the community while we spin it up.
The HN headline here is misleading to the point of being wrong: It is implying that some legal process is changing (or has recently changed), which is not true. The article is about a group of companies lobbying for changes to citizenship laws.

I don't have an opinion on the topic one way or the other, but I get mighty riled up when I read breathtakingly inaccurate headlines.
I'd argue that the majority of office settings don't have moments of slack, but rather moments of productivity. This same productivity can be achieved in wayy less time than the standard 40 hours/week.
Imho, the next revolution in speech synthesis will come from using guided diffusion models, leveraging the recent breakthrough in image synthesis (Dall-e), to generate spectrograms (spectrograms are images).

Using this slower generative approach it will allow to produce large high-quality enriched audio datasets with parametric text, timings and emotion.

Then you use these datasets to bootstrap in a supervised fashion the existing traditional architectures to make the generation faster.

The usual problem of text-to-speech is that you have to go from a low-information space (aka text) to a high-information space (aka sound). And therefore training is ill-defined because one input text can have several correct sound. But once you have an enriched text with inflections and parameters, speaker embedding, the mapping then become one enriched text to one exact audio and the training become well-defined and easy.
Manufacturer signature, not your signature.
Thunderbolt has the same connector as USB-C. Surely you mean Apple Lightning.
Well, silver lining is that seems like a really strong signal that we're heading towards disinflation.
I think the parent makes a better point in concrete terms. Geopolitically interconnected trade is all well and good in theory, but putting two superpowers at odds over the consolidation of oxygen right off the coast of one of them, with a long-standing grudge between them into the bargain has obvious implications for stability.

All of economics looks great on paper until basically any little happenstance quirk utterly breaks the whole thing.

no only paying the warehouse, but also you'll soon be on the hook to pay for part A, B, C and E even though you have no way to sell the widget you were supposed to build with them.

> Tiff is good

Mind that TIFF is only a container format that can contain any arbitrary codec you like; it can be uncompressed pixels, RLE compressed, it can be a PNG, a JPEG XL, even lossy JPEG or WebP if you'd like.

Saying your image format is TIFF is roughly as useful and conveys as much information as saying your video format is MKV.
webp, webp2, and avif are absolutely worth using in modern web scenarios. It's even considered "poor practice" to serve legacy formats now.
I would think volume is a better metric because landfills don't really much care about mass.

If you wanted to save trash you'd probably go after packaging. Ban disposable water bottles (or something less drastic like taxing them extra) and there's 50 lifetimes of wall warts per person per annum.

This just isn't really an enviromental problem. Or if it is, it's so far down the scale as to be pointless to prioritize over almost anything. It's really about competition.
Pretty sure they supply to Lockheed as well. Wonder how they'd react to such a move.
I’d frankly be surprised if you were able to muster the talent/willpower for something like this.

1. Most of the people able to do this sort of thing probably work in Linux/FreeBSD/etc land.
2. You’re really working doubly against the tide here. You have proprietary stuff on the Mac and on the Windows side.
3. (Personal opinion) Dear God that sounds like a lot of work for something that is a fairly unfriendly experience on a few levels.

At least they have Linux/BSD people trailblazing here (they acknowledge as much).

If they can actually pull this off without changing something deeper than a what’s already exposed to kernel driver developers without horrible hacks or inefficiencies, I would be surprised.

Disclaimer: Not really a kernel dev of any sort.
Subsidies such as this are a net-loss for the average citizen of Germany and whatever country would have otherwise been host to this factory. It may well be in the interest of the German citizen, and it happening means that this is indeed the believed by people who studied the specifics.

A better example for wasteful subsidies may be the competition for their new HQ Amazon ran between US cities, only to place it where they wanted to go in the first place. There, as well as in the Intel case, a deal prohibiting competition by subsidy would be in everyone's interest.
And watch as your fledgling local business dies due to hundreds of billions of subsidies for foreign fabs. South Korea alone is subsidizing Semiconductors with $450Bn [1]. If you want local fabs, you need to spend money. Or you get to watch your automotive assembly lines stop because of chip shortages.

That's really cool! I've been waiting for tech like this to finally come to light. Honestly expected either Google or Apple to lead the way on it.

socialists in 2019: "evil oligoplies are driving down prices unfairly meaning local businesses cant compete and are forced to close"

socialists in 2022: "evil oligopolies are raising prices unfairly causing inflation"

havent found one that could explain why they didnt "collude" to raise prices in 2008-2019.

whereas its quite clear what caused the high prices was rather insane govt spending caused by socialist policies.
I don't think you understood my question.

You ended your comment with:

> More likely you had the laptop speakers too loud, or you had headphones plugged in which were set too loud.

To which I suggested that maybe he had very loud headphones because he was annoyed by his laptop fan and wanted to drown out the noise. Which, I concede, is probably not the best life decision, but I can imagine someone doing it.
At $15k/month per employee on salary alone, 1Password costs <0.1%. I’d argue the complete opposite of your conclusion: the smaller you are, the more important it is to focus exclusively on the things that move the needle. Reducing my employee cost by 0.1% does not move the needle. If I spend my time debating the merits of self hosting a password manager, I’m not spending my time growing my business.

The reason businesses like Amazon can be successful is because they focus on what matters, and that’s what startups need to embrace too.

I connect disconnect the same USB-C connector minimum 8 times a day for 4 years now. I have yet to have any issue with it. USB micro B connectors that got the same treatment repeatedly failed.

The USB C jacks I have seen on PCBs so far seem all to look pretty solid to me, although I am convinced you can also get cheap ones that will just happily fail if you just tried. Getting cheap Lightning connectors will be a lot harder, for obvious reasons.

So if we do the comparison between Apple and something else, let's not fall into the old trap of comparing an 1000€ ios device to an 100€ android device and declaring android to be unusable.
I don't think that we should institute caning, but I do think that new forms of punishment are needed.

Jail and prison are terrible forms of punishment. Someone who goes to prison is going to lose their job, maybe lose their house and possessions, and be away from their family. And that's all to spend time hanging out with convicted criminals all day and learn nothing of value.

Compared with this, caning actually starts to look not so bad. It sends a clear message "don't do that again" without destroying someone's life.

Now, caning also can cause serious damage to your body, so I don't think it's an acceptable punishment, but it would be good to have a better method of punishment that sent a clear message but didn't wreck someone's life and leave them with little alternative but to resort to crime again.
The premise of this subthread is that failing to fund another collider does not mean that those 1000 experiments will be funded. The person you're replying to is saying that even if money not thrown at a collider doesn't end up going to 1000 physics experiments, it will go to something. If that something is net-useful, it will be better than a new collider whose usefulness is questionable.
I don't think they like ad absurdum arguments. But without systematic evidence, there is not way to determine if if such an argument is actually any less valid then the initial claim.

No, it wasn't. It was passable. The software "engineering" "accomplished" today is just nothing short of pathetic.
Google authenticator will also backup your keys to the google cloud so installing it on a new device will just work. You'll, of course, need to remember your google account password and not set it up with authenticator as the second factor.

(I don't know much about authy, I only use it to access m sendgrid account, but I didn't like the fact that it used SMS for setting up or restoring an account.)
I can use the web just fine on Firefox, just like I could use the web just fine on Phoenix during IE's ascendance. You are complaining about a problem that nobody is facing. The problem with Safari (that matches the problem with IE before it) is that there are a lot of apps that don't get built because Safari is so far behind the other browsers and Apple doesn't let users get around this.

It doesn't matter that iOS isn't dominant to the extent that Windows/IE was. The fact that roughly half of users are stuck using a buggy and outdated browser is enough to prevent the web platform from being useful to people like the original commenter.
jokes aside, this is all pretty much required functionality for mature applications
Yeah but the consequences are wildly different. Even a low speed bus hit will likely end one's time on earth.

These people are unconsciously aware that they are incompetent. They pull people into meetings in order to have a sense of having done work, at the cost of total productivity.
Germany hasn't been doing any of that except immigration, and it has fared exceptionally well over the last decades. Taiwan's chip industry is the result of massive subsidies that got it started.
I worked briefly for a transportation company helping with a migration to Solaris. I was the FNG, and everyone else was primarily Windows so I stuck out like a sore thumb. My manager (and his manager) were really nice but had experienced a bit of turnover. My first day showed why.

All of the sysadmins worked from one room, with a "datacenter" in the room next door. Imagine a single room, with desks lined up around the walls. No cubicles, and barely enough room for a keyboard/mouse/monitor and room for a soda or coffee. Crappy chairs too. Since I was the FNG, I got the desk in the back corner underneath the A/C duct. So I was perpetually frozen.

No one looks at each other since our desks faced the walls. The walls between our room and the "datacenter" had no soundproofing, so whenever I spun up the Sun gear (T2 cpus) the noise was like a helicopter taking off. Even over the A/C blasting down on me, I would hear these servers when I did a reboot.

I think the average salary at the time was around $70K or so, and there were 9 of us crammed into that crappy little room. So roughly $1M in compensation, but they couldn't find a real spot for us to work. Screw that place...
No... it is subsidizing. Developing drugs is expensive and high risk... there has to be a monetary mechanism to incentivize drug development and, right now, that is the promise of high profits, which mostly happens in the US. Therefore, US is carrying most of the incentivizing burden for pharma development.

The rate of innovation would slip for global drug development without the promise of high prices and blockbuster profits in the US market.

I have worked for a couple different Pharma companies, including those HQ'ed in Europe, and this is basically the situation. EU based Pharma companies make most of their profit in the US (almost every pharma company does).

There are other ways to incentivize drug development and/or defray the financial risk of development, of course... but this is situation today... has been for a long time.
It is though, they get something like 40% of their gas from Russia, and 30% of oil imports.

It is immensely in the interest of Germany to have good relations and continued trade with Russia.
Doesn't have to be consumers tightening, but rather shifting demand to non-manufactured physical products like restaurants, concerts, travel, etc.
Gallium is produced from the waste streams of Aluminum production (primarily at least), and a whole lot of it just isn't extracted and left as waste.

Platinum is quite a lot more valuable than gold, found in similar deposits, and rather rare. (you could say it is also produced from gold production waste streams and be mostly correct, it used to just be discarded long ago, but now it is very highly valued)
