This article falls into the trap of conflating the Wirecutter's misapplication of filtration standards with irrelevant minutiae about which terms and diameters they cite for the filter classes. So alongside a pretty cogent description of how fine-matter filtration works by particle size, there's the claim that "a 'PM2.5 filter' … isn’t a thing," despite the PM2.5 class of fine particulate matter being the range specifically mentioned in the Ikea product description in the screenshot. A cursory search will turn up lots of results for filters which show that this is a pretty common term. Where the Wirecutter review actually goes wrong is in taking 2.5 microns as the lower bound of the particulate range, whereas it's conventionally the upper bound.

Then there's the idea that "Neither size mentioned (0.3 microns or 2.5 microns) has any relationship to either of the design specs" [the EU E12 and H13 standards]. When I google "hepa" my first hit is a US EPA page giving the specification for the most penetrating particle size of HEPA filters as 0.3 microns, rather than the 0.15 microns given in the article (from the empirical research or EU standards, I'm not sure which). This is from North America, but then, the Wirecutter is an American review site. It's worth considering this kind of (IMO) misfire in light of the article making the least charitable possible inference, that the Wirecutter deliberately set out to discredit the Ikea product because it couldn't give an affiliate link.

I appreciate this, and thanks.

Sadly it seems like it’s essentially giving the same not-particularly-helpful stats as listed in the authors article.

I’d love some independent particle test results for it (carried out properly as described in the article of course).
> Our game is inspired by <Genre defining game>

This is not something you want to admit to if it’s true, because you haven’t got the rights to old game you’re copying.

> - Our game supports modding and enough people care about <NFT> that someone is willing to implement that NFT in the game via mods.

Why don’t the mods just put the thing in? Mods don’t need to respect anyone’s NFT ownership.
100% agree on the 1 hour maximum live challenge. As long as the challenge is relevant to the role being applied for, this is the way to go. This is enough time for the company to see some code and for both parties to ask questions about the tech, role, etc.
> My impression (as an outsider) is that these paper-pushing jobs are allowed to persist to keep people employed who would otherwise have nothing to do.

It is more of bureaucratic inertia, extreme risk-averse mindset & accommodating the older non tech savvy generation by keeping things as consistent.

For a fact, I saw a shop still having LaserDiscs. I was not born when those things were in fashion.

Tesla did it to me, because I have had the same approach as grandparent forever (well, for 30 or so years, anyway).

Recently I had a text message to my phone number asking me if I wanted life insurance, and whether I preferred to be contacted at ‘tesla@<myserver.net>‘ or continue our conversation via text. I have plenty of life-insurance through my company…

Funnily enough, Elon didn’t reply to my tweet asking him if this was standard Tesla policy… Never did like that rat-bastard.
The tax on income should be consistent irrespective of the source.

The best argument for favorable LTCG taxes is that naive taxation of long-term capital gains as current-year income in a progressive tax system overtaxes income that takes an extended period to generate and isn't repeatable, but allowances for advance recognition and/or deferral of recognition of income for tax purposes solve that and are also usable for non-capital income that is concentrated over a shorter time than the work to generate it (as is often the case for creative work.)

If you want to encourage sales of idle assets of a particular class, tax the asset, don't lower the capital gains tax.

Is this surprising to anyone? What revenue do these business departments generate?
When calculating expected value of private stock/options I multiply by a factor of ~10 at the end. There are so many unknown unknowns that significantly decrease the value of your equity. The equity agreements I have seen also give ultimate discretion to the board on how your equity is executed. You don’t have control over triggering events and also there are usually quite a few clauses with “at the discretion of the board of directors”.

When negotiating offers for non-public companies I provide a sliding scale of cash vs equity. 1 dollar of cash is worth to me 10 dollars in equity of a private company. So if my total comp goal is 300k per year you can give me 250k of cash and 500k of equity, 200k cash and 1000k equity, or just 300k cash.

Most companies will baulk at this, but in my experience you have none of the power when holding private equity and so you need a really large multiplier to make it worth the risk.

Equity in a public company is a totally different story because the company valuation is controlled by the stock exchanges and you can cash out you equity at any time.
He asked how it could be done. I explained one possible way, there are probably more ways. I don't get why people get upset about this, it's a bit weird.

It could be cheaper than buying a similar item on the new game. I don't see how that is a scam, I just use the definition that's in the dictionary. Who is being deceived and defrauded here?

Why do you assume the item you transfer needs to have an ability? I don't make that assumption, lets keep it simple and assume it's just a cosmetic display item without any abilities and that it's possible to display this item in the other game.

edit:
You could for example display the rank you have in one game in another game, assuming the possibility to do this exists of course.
I feel like this comment section is split by (1) people who assume that an app icon on a phone is a reasonable place to make political statements and (2) those who don’t.

I’m not against a cause just because I prefer my app icons to not change colors with the political season.
Paying 30% to get access to millions of users, with money and having distribution, backups, creditcard handling, user management etc. Handled for you.. seems like a pretty good deal.
You're being optimistic. The realistic scenario is that stores could compete on price. (Even though they would still be required—per Apple's developer agreement and the recent court ruling—to withhold a percentage of each purchase/IAP as a license fee for use of Apple's intellectual property.)

The only thing other than price is the opportunity to attract less scrupulous developers in a race to the bottom with respect to policy enforcement.
I even have one for home use, they're wonderful
Yeah that's a bit rough. Though I think for most people the cloud solution is the way to go, though - even if it's an evil Saas-recurring-revenue play. I was close enough to a previous team that used to admin an on-prem Jira (~7 years ago) to know it wasn't just set-and-forget, and also that almost all the slowness users complained about was due to under-provisioned hardware.

Honestly I reckon half of Jira's reputation for slowness could have come from bad on-prem installs. The cloud version is not slow, and Atlassian does do work on performance

You mean typing latency, right? The most important thing we do there is handling reconciliation ourselves rather than delegating to a framework (e.g., React). If you have full control over the reconciliation process, it's just a matter of continuous incremental optimization.
Best advice in this situation always give an upper bound estimate and fatten it up a little more. All they want is a number there is a damn good chance that it really doesn’t matter.

The reality—if you give me an estimate, I am probably going to fatten it up even further when I pass it up the chain, not because I don’t trust your estimate, but because something always happens outside of your and my control.
This is the second time you've said it's about "hoovering up data".

Yahoo runs one of the biggest ad networks in the world, and you need to register to use Tumblr. They as already have everything they need to track you right there.

A mobile app in many circumstances reduces the data tracking (see this whole discussion about how effective Apple's do not track is because of their monopoly powers).
So… paging then? Slightly improved paging?

That won't work for any up and coming search engine.

> people agitate against `curl blah.xyz | sh` for a reason.

What’s the reason, exactly?

If you’re principled about only ever installing anything from vetted repos, then sure, your position is at least consistent. But my experience is that people who are appalled by pipe-to-sh are for whatever reason much less appalled by downloading random binaries or .deb files from blah.xyz and running them manually, which seems like just a more labor-intensive version of the same thing.
People here aren't going to bother talking about alternatives because there are thousands, it's just if you work at a company has invested years in trying to figure out JIRA, no one is going to admit it sucks and just let you use something simpler. I've seen many brave soul suggest something different and it didn't end well.
NFS: The Early Years
More like we're tired of having to "prove we know something" to people who have no clue what they're talking about (most recruiters).

Further, there are probably lots of software engineers that have _never touched_ your framework of choice and will be able to learn and become proficient with it in a manner of weeks.
This pendulum refers to virtue signal-ing. Presumably the rights of these groups does not depend on the current fashion or zeitgeist of signaling support via trite visual updates.
Cloud services do this to provision hypervisors and other infrastructure, the vms effectively do similar post boot. If you architect your management network well transport security should not be an issue.

The ‘piping curl into bash is dangerous’ meme is silly unless you’re actively reviewing shell scripts prior to execution. It’s no different to a git clone, pip install or npm update.
Lol, the parent was being just as pedantic as I was, and it’s fine. If he’s going to explore abstract technicalities, he invites others to do so as well. I’m sure he’s a grown up and can handle it, and he may even welcome it. If it’s not your cup of tea, downvote and move along.

In this case the “added value” is the distinction between “not broadly punishing productivity” and narrowly punishing one kind of unproductivity (as it pertains to land use).
Believe it or not, there is a middle ground between having enough to eat and dying of malnutrition
No. This web is controlled by these "some companies". They monopolize social media, e-commerce, games, telecommunication platforms. Billions of people go by assuming that Facebook is the internet.

Go ahead and try to live on the internet without being forced to interact with any of FAANG services. It's impossible even for me, who tries to keep as strict of a "digital hygiene" as possible and use open source and open standards as much as possible.

If you think that we can not improve on the web that we have today, either your standards are way too low or you already got so used to be manipulated by Big Tech that you can't even imagine how much better and freer life could be without it.
wasmer (as a rust library) + .wasm payload was a 5.5MB .zip file uploaded to Lambda (should have mentioned that in the article). This was without size/speed optimization as the goal.
Even people who aren't motivated by money will still follow the money, because unless you know the new employers personally, it's the most reliable indicator that your work is valued. And then, if it turns out that you don't really enjoy it for whatever reason, at least you know you are getting something for it.
If you reduce the supply of labor willing to work at low prices, employers will need to pay more to fill those roles or choose another path forward (automation, scale down businesses that rely upon low-paying labor, etc).

So, presumably you'd have more expensive lattes, more expensive janitorial services, and perhaps some of the less viable coffee shops close.
Web3 is centralized because the source of money causing it to appear to be a thing is coming from one place (a16z). It’s just a way for them to do securities fraud.

Although the entire crypto ecosystem valuation is based on another source of fictional money (Tether).
Crypto today is dominated by a few central players (wallets, trading) with strict access requirements, including unambiguous government-issued ID. Even mining is dominated by people with much more capital than you have access to, so that it is never worth it to run a miner as a private individual. Everything "web3" has been co-opted by corporatized interests trying to invent fresh new ways to get in on the scam before regulators make it unprofitable.

Access is difficult for private individuals for more reasons than just "technology is complicated".
Also, if you don't have someone at your company with a network & social cachet to pull in the talent you need, you might need to start there. If you don't have an in-house recruiter, bring one on to spend their time managing your proactive outreach. Giving up the equity/cash required to attract a Director/CTO may be a harder pill to swallow, but you need someone whose job it is to be trying things out & experimenting with what works at your company.

In this market, you can't expect that talent will come to you.
I've seen several comments about alternatives, and many more replies that say they suck worse than Jira.
> Honestly, I think most startups are betting that employees don’t know any better.

Yeah, that's probably accurate. For whatever reason, many seem to view equity as a "check the box" formality rather than a material part of your compensation. I mostly avoided non-unicorn startups during my last job hunt for that reason, but the few that I got around to talking numbers with offered <$50k in equity over 4 years (and in the form of options to boot); the equity comp for the role I ended up taking is around an order of magnitude higher.

As for the issue with wifi, that's a legitimate shame for your friend, but isn't a reason for the feature not to exist for anyone.
> The most straight forward way to make people avoid speculating is to heavily tax all non-primary residence homes. Cap the amount people can charge in rent to some %s of purchase value (incentive to have high purchase value) to and set a baseline on the taxes required and make the math for building property empire bleak (absolute destruction of the housing-as-a-financial-asset model).

LVT + UBI would accomplish the same thing (and then some) more fairly and efficiently; UBI would subsidize the LVT for your primary residence, while secondary residences (and residences owned by corporations and other non-residents) would see no such benefit.
I genuinely don’t know anything about economics. Is this widely accepted among economists or is it more of an ideological/political axiom?
What revenue does any department generate other than Product Development and Sales?
Honestly, the app called Shortcut is the Jira killer. It really is that good.
Hi, you’re just incorrect here. Sexual orientation and gender are perfectly appropriate subjects for young children, and have been part of elementary curricula across the nation for decades.

This is one reason why the Florida bill was opposed by pediatricians, child psychologists, and teachers. The professionals whose job it is know how children develop are aligned against the bill because it goes against quite a lot of research about to help children develop emotionally.

Orientation and gender are attributes that children naturally observe in others and in themselves, even at a young age, and ask their teachers about. Denying them answers helps them not at all, but is useful for stigmatizing the subjects (which is of course the point of the bill).

I noticed you also mentioned “sex” as well, but that is a red herring because no school system in Florida, or anywhere in the U.S. actually, starts sex education before middle school.
> So your hypothesis is that VCs put their class interests ahead of making money

It's much simpler than this and it is about making money.

Whether unions impact the ultimate success (in terms of ability to build) of a company or not, they certainly shift the share of money that is going towards labor as opposed to owners who want a profit.

This lowers the expected return of company equity which means people will be willing to pay less and you will be able to raise less money while you are trying to scale up. A non-unionized competitor will be able to raise more money and if there are positive returns to scale, outscale & outcompete.
There's nominatin to do reverse geo search:

Apple maps likely has the same along with Google maps. It wouldn't take much effort to see which is which.

The question seems more about if any of these APIs would take diffs of results to any reasonable extent
> The transportation could be done via electric vehicles. The lighting and electronics could itself be powered by greener sources. Maybe not for the first new solar farm constructed, but over time as the infrastructure was built out. And the tax would incentivize the building of that infrastructure.

Every single thing you just listed would take energy to produce and would bear a carbon tax because a carbon tax is really just an energy tax. The electric vehicles need batteries, the batteries need lithium, and the lithium has to come out of the ground. This results in a product with much more mass than your typical ICE, thus has more energy put into its production, but to offset this the electricity can theoretically come from some solar farm in the Mojave desert. In practice it probably comes from a gas fired plant, but that is still a lot better than if it were to come from a coal powered plant (and sometimes it does).

Everything we do by living has an impact on the planet. Actually to be more exact anything any living creature does has an impact on the planet, but we’re the only species that thinks on a planetary scale (except maybe birds, I’m sure there’s a fun philosophical discussion there but we’ll have to table it) and therefore care about this ecosystem we have conceptualized as a planet.

So when I eat some beans or drink milk and or a cow eats some grass or “feed”, we both emit a GHG with a global warming potential of 27-30 over 100 years. You should be happy to note that as a responsible citizen of this planet, I have omitted both beans and milk from my diet. Unfortunately my hypothetical methane account is probably overdrawn on account of my love of steak as my primary source of protein.

No. We cannot live without waste as a necessary product of living, and since there’s a lot of us, we waste a lot of energy. What we can do is get a lot more efficient with our energy usage and reduce the total amount of waste, but we will continue to be GHG emitters for as long as we have civilization. Either we find some way to get the planet to absorb more of our emissions or we naturally die off until we reach an equilibrium with the planet. That could be billions of us or it could be zero of us. I’m unconvinced tax policy will be our silver bullet, nor will cronyism.

> we should financially reward people who make greener choices.

Which brings me to my final point. If you mean this in a private market sense, that’s fine. If you mean this as an extension of tax policy and the course of government business, this is called cronyism—the government picking winners and losers and is a fine example of why our tax code is already so complex. We have plenty of that already, and I would like to see less to the point that it approaches or eventually achieves zero but I’m not holding my breath.
you.com let's you select that preference once in their app store and then reddit (or other sites) show up anytime they're relevant: you.com/apps
This is why Apple's Hide My Email feature is incredible.

If you don't know, it generates a random email that forwards to your real iCloud account. You have full control on both deactivating the email (pausing it) or deleting it (permanent).

Apple will automatically suggest one of these emails when filling in an email form element which makes it even easier.

Incredibly helpful when signing up for new accounts or any other purpose.
In this analogy; it's JUST a restaurant it's not that important that you be there with your friends and family. There's plenty of other ways you can see and interact with them, the restaurant isn't important or necessary.
Guessing that's prohibitively expensive for smaller shops though? There's remarkably little info on Atlassian's site about the difference between server and data center license...
Pretty good site. I like that it's not just an article shoveling you towards a particular product, promising to solve all your problems but not telling you how.
Oooo thank you so much! I can't believe I've never come across this word, and I love words! I thought it was a video came and that's it. I guess it's the short version of contradict?

I also think in the context of having Wirecutter, a website I've never heard of afterwards, also added to the confusion. Thanks so much!
I also use one clause per line in long sentences. It makes it easier to try different ways of structuring the same information. You can do major edits with little more than whole-line copy and paste, capitalization changes at line beginnings, and punctuation changes at line endings -- all of which are easy in vim (dd/p, 0~, $r/$x/A)
I don't think it needs to be an NFT. The integration of "check if thing is in wallet" has a low barrier for entry for the needed operations: creation of the various NFT's, the checking of ownership, and cross platform (windows, playstation, steam, Nintendo) support. The key points are the digital wallet decoupled from the usecase and "tokens" that anyone can create which go in the wallet.

I would guess that if "Web3" becomes the thing crypto people aim for, GCP, Azure, and/or AWS will implement "public ledgers" that have a very similar interface and may or may not rely on blockchain underneath. Any decentralized blockchain would be forced to compete with those centralized offerings.
> Long term, it simply helps another competitor to come up without a union

Alternately, long term it helps attract and retain excellent staff who care about the business and feel like they have a stake, and helps the business make better decisions because the decisionmaking process takes more information into account.
Maybe but doesn't all of that apply equally to just about any payment method other than sending them cash anonymously?
