All of this is totally untrue for a device like this.

The brightness is orders of magnitude less than daylight, there's zero retinal damage happening. They're not outputting UV so zero spectrum issues as well. There's also no "blue light overexposure", it's balanced.

Yes, cool color temperatures late at night can keep you up. Which is why 'night mode' exists, even the Oculus Quest 2 has it -- it's trivial to solve using software alone. But that's no different from staying up playing exciting video games or watching too much TV because of the cliffhanger at the end of each episode.

But nothing is "baking your eyes", sheesh. And using these for productivity during the daytime will affect your sleep and hormones precisely zero. Being outdoors on a sunny day, or even a cloudy day, is flooding your eyes with orders of magnitude more blue light than these dinky little screens.
While a third of the IMDB ratings are 10, another third of the ratings are 2 or 1.

I think the reviews are being flooded by two extreme opinions

If you look at the ratings from the top 1000 raters, you get a more normal distribution.

But it's really hard to trust anything about these numbers now we know Amazon has been deleting user written reviews that are negative.

Do you verify if these jobs are truly location independent? In my experience all such companies really mean "anywhere" as long as it is in a handful of approved countries and time zones, and the rest will get a "sorry we can't hire in this jurisdiction because of compliance/HR/tax issues".
'Flirting with nature' is a common expression that I have seen in many travel brochures, blogs etc. I guess use of coy follows from that. Not sure if it is something specific to Indian dialect.
It's actually pretty simple and intuitive if you put the reason up front, article seems needlessly long:

> the policy choices available to them impact the user experience of fraudsters and legitimate users alike. They want to choose policies which balance the tradeoff

What I don't get is how policy makers can appreciate such nuances and then not see how attempting to ban encryption could possibly break modern society... different policy makers I have to assume.
> MeeGo wasn't looking like it was gonna be an iOS or Android killer.

I had an n900 in 2009. I think they theoretically had a winner there.

But they never prioritized it above Symbian.

Then between the n900 and the n9, they totally rewrote the UI on a new toolkit, wasting resources and making it clear that if you write an app for it they may completely discard 95% of the app platform from release to release.

If they had iterated on Maemo 5 in that time and put all hands on deck behind it they could have used those ~3 years more productively and been more competitive. Maemo 5 was actually pretty close to what they needed.

Blackberry had a similar situation. Like meego, in bb10 they had a qt based platform in the early 2010s. But it was too late. The biggest blunder is not doing it sooner, before Android solidified.
> If you look at their budget, NASA’s funding has rarely been reduced and is currently it’s highest ever.

Elop gets lots of shit for his role in this but to be fair, he was just the front man. The real power was with the board and in particular the ex-CEO Jorma Ollila. It was the board who hired Elop and it was the board who weighted and eventually made the call to go with Windows Phone instead of Android.

In a proper public company, crucial strategic decisions like these are not CEO-level but board-level. The CEO is called chief executive officer exactly because he executes the strategy set by the shareholders, whom the board represents. And that's exactly how it went down here. You can read it all from the 2014 book "Operation Elop" by Pekka Nykänen and Merina Salminen, Teos Publishing.

You might not have it at the front of your mind, but you have probably internalized a lot of it.

When you see a problem that would benefit from application of CS theory you might end up applying it without realizing that is what you are doing.
Well the problem is that academia has been co-opted into being a vocational school (especially for STEM), when its purpose is scientific research. People looking for vocational schooling (e.g. "computer programmer") are frustrated that a lot of the education is theoretical/purely scientific and therefore "useless", and professors are frustrated having to teach disinterested students or university mandated material not relevant to research. Both parties feel the other is wrong when in reality neither is---the relationship society has forced them into is wrong.

Being a good enough developer to build a career in this field doesn't require a high IQ but it does require a special kind of mindset as you said.

I also used to think that everyone could learn to code but I came to realize that this mindset can't be learned. Some people maybe discover that they have this mindset later in life and that's why learn to code is still a useful piece of advice because it'll reach them but once you've tapped into the fixed % of the population that do have this mindset you can't expand it more.

It's not to say others are doomed, there are other mindsets that exists for every professions. Maybe some of them can become great PMs or great small business owners or accountants. But coding is out of reach for a large portion of the population just like developers tend to be very poor salespeople and couldn't "learn to sale" if their income relied on it.
These sound great - if they were < £200 and lightweight, I'd buy them in a heartbeat!

The Middle East and North Africa had frequent contact with Europe. When thousands of Europeans went on crusade to the Middle East they didn’t all drop dead. The Romans went everywhere. Berber pirates even raided for slaves as far north as Iceland. This is simply not an issue. The Americas was a different situation, they’d been isolated from Eurasia for tens of thousands of years.

In Middle Earth the Numenorians had extensive colonies in the far south, and also had contact with the Elves and their ancestral homelands in the northern regions. Again, just not an issue.

Companies seem to be able to organize themselves quite well to achieve their business and political goals. If it’s bad for an autoworker to buy an “import”, surely a Microsoft employee should be shopping at Walmart or some other Microsoft partner, not Amazon.

Why do you care about how the UAW guy defrauded his organization? And why would the company? Amazon fires blue collar workers for peeing too long, why is the stewardship of their dues relevant at all? If anything, they benefit from compromised union leadership.

Not everyone is a FAANG SWE who can get a new gig right away. Some of the proles benefit from protection from the capricious decisions of their employer.

Please read the next line of my post, the one with the word "rights".

I think you will find it is an indisputable fact that employment rights in Western Europe are centuries ahead of the US.

I mean, there was another thread right here on HN posted yesterday about some guy worrying about mat/pat leave in the US. That's a given in Western Europe and woe betide the employer that tries to mess with your mat/pat rights !
Yeah I absolutely agree. The recent [CLPS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_Lunar_Payload_Servi...) program seems solid. NASA really should just hand out contracts and let companies compete and run their missions with NASA supporting and operating science stuff, rather than them spearheading bloated messes such as SLS (and honestly shuttle)
I'd advise against following advice from individuals like this for many reasons, one to mention survivorship bias to basic things like being picked up by a publishing house. Advice from people like this is often just kind of useless if not actively detrimental to your quality of life. You can do all the things stated here and fail. The reality is that the way the writing industry works it is a very selective and closed door process that does not allow a majority of those or even a minority into it's industry.

In a HOA the members are the home owners. In a union the members are the employees. In both cases a majority of members get to dictate to a minority. You may not like the outcome if you're in a minority on some issue.

Like if you like long grass, the HOA can dictate you can’t do that. Or if you like pay by performance but the majority of the union wants pay by seniority they can dictate that to you.
> The “Amazon Way” manifests differently country to country. In Sweden, the company uses third-party workers; in France and Italy, collective bargaining is predominantly sectoral, and Amazon chooses to identify itself with the sector that pays the least.

Everything in this article points to European labor laws working exactly as intended. The "weakening of norms" seems entirely confined to a) low strike participation and b) that Amazon continues to find people willing to work for them.
My guess is that the attacker only wanted to steal the ETH and was successful. Later the security team saved him from an hypothetical second attack that was never going to happen anyway.

Washing the fungible stolen ETH looks much easier than washing then NFTs.
How much of the major auto bailouts years ago was the result of union rules?

For decades they met union demands to avoid costly legal fights.. and in the end?

this is rather old, but telling: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2000/nov/09/2

Instead of restructure, the uion opted for bankruptcy? Way to "protect jobs"?

"The company's attempt to buy more time failed after union leaders rejected a new restructuring plan that would have cut a fifth of the 19,000-strong workforce. The union said its members would have to be paid £70m in wages arrears before it would consider the proposals."

> And I felt the concerted institutional effort every single step of the way to push me down and grind me into submission, to teach me I was a criminal for thinking for myself.

I so relate to this. The people who run schools honestly believe that they are the one true way in society and if you aren't square with them, you are literally on a criminal path. You don't believe their values? Complete anti-social. Don't find their facts fun to regurgitate on command? Clearly an idiot. These people really are brainwashed in this way and that kids get forced through that system is a tragedy.
Adderral is rough.
I’ve had better luck with Concerta or vyvanse

Adderall would make me super energetic for hours. Crazy chattt. Then I would be really focused for a for a couple hours. Then it would wear off and I would be drained. After a few weeks I started having horrific burning pain throughout body.
Extended release is supposed to be better.

I do much better on other Medication. Kids do great on them. One is best on concerta. Other does better on vyvanse. My whole family is crazy strong ADHD. I prefer concerta.
Vvyanze initially made me crazy sad. When I tried it again a year later it didn’t do that.
I doubt that very much. Fanciest machine in a stealership is probably the wheel alignment machine, and a top-of-the-line Hunter will set you back about $35k.

The typical two-post lift that's in every bay is like $3000. The various dealer service tools (several-generation-old toughbooks with a 500% markup) are also in that ballpark. Then you've got various flush and fill machines, refrigerant recovery and vacuum, etc, in the $1-2k range each. And then there's a whole menagerie of special little jigs and thingamabobs that're probably each in the $20-200 range, but which save a lot of scraped knuckles and swearing and such.

If you head to a performance tuning shop, you might find a 4-wheel chassis dyno worth about $50k or maybe more, but dealerships don't have those.
I'd say it's more of a skill mismatch for what developers actually do. You're much more likely to end up debugging an issue with the interactions between 5-6 annotations in a spring controller than to be implementing any sort of exotic data structure yourself. Also scoping working differently in different languages seems to break certain people's brains, which is increasingly important with python becoming more and more popular and having a... unique scoping model (function based/LEGB).

Some people manage to use that knowledge to bootstrap an understanding of the software ecosystem they find themselves in, and others really struggle with it and flail around. Then some other people manage to bootstrap these things from a biology degree or art history degree (or no degree at all)... somehow. I'm not entirely sure what correlates with success on that front actually.
> I guess this can all fit within a “marginal cost” explanation though.

Yes, but it undermines the first point, a bit. There's costs-- direct and social costs-- to making transactions hard; so perhaps optimal for a society is still not 0.

Also, there's nothing to say that the amount of fraud is stable and that we can't find a world where we have better mechanisms to reduce it for the same cost. (Improved technology, legal structures, norms, etc).
> I'm still thinking about it, but I do wonder if diverse casting works in European fantasy stories.

Hmm, I haven't seen Rings of Power, but your statement seems to be a not-so-subtle for a Think Bigger call for revolutionary new fantasy story settings.

Not just stories, not even worlds, but complete mythical ecosystems.

I've read a few fantasy stories lately by non-white non-male authors that were good, even great, like The Fith Season. Others that I was too dismissive of, with my own ugly biased offhand remarks, like Binti.

Ironically, I'd rather roll up a character in the Binti universe. Which seems like one interesting Litmus test for a "Kuhnian Paradigm" shift in fictional work.

Could I imagine sitting around with friends in a campaign in this world?

We'll always have the classic fantasy setting. It uses metaphor effectively to tackle capitalism and war and minority issues. But you can ironically escape that now. I think others saw that before me too.
There's no way my wife will go for that.
For those drooling at this: you probably don't want this work. The clients who pay this amount are typically soul crushingly bad to work with, and you're under the gun to deliver 10k worth of value both to secure future work with the client and ensure your reputation stays clean. One bad experience can sink you with other clients, folks talk.

IMO, build something for you and sell it vs building something for other people.
hey man, I love StreetComplete!

If I could suggest one feature: if the app see I am in a new location and I do not move much (read it: I am not driving my car), it could show me android notification asking if I want to answer for some questions about this place.

I love StreetComplete but as this is not an app you open everyday it is easy to forget about it for a few days and recall it only when you are back at home - where you already answered all the questions about every item around you. And you feel sorry you did some bicycle trip yesterday but forgot about contributing to OSM.
I think this is just a temporary phase until society figures out how to adjust to the new environment. Nothing about remote work enforces isolation. You can work from a coffee shop, you can work from the beach, you can work from a library, you can work from your friend's house, and yes, you can work from home.

If home isn't fitting for you, try anywhere else on Earth. There are probably new environments that are possible that have not yet been created. Let's explore those. It's very likely that the office isn't the single best place on Earth.

Kakaobrain has also trained a Dalle 2 model on its dataset and will release it along with the technical report.
neat site, how do you plan to get traffic to it?
To be quite clear, that always felt weird to me as well - something to the effect of "I thought SELECT was for reading data; why am I using it to create a replica?"
I also charge a non-refundable down payment of $100k to sign non-compete or NDA and that doesn’t guarantee I’ll accept the job.

Both my rates and this keeps people who aren’t serious about working with me away. Anyone else is most likely worth my time and the cost is acceptable because I don’t work a full 40/hr week for the client. I plan the work to be done for a week and let them know. If it takes me 40hrs ok but most don’t.

They’re not paying me for hours logged. They’re paying me for my experience and skills.
Also, the two types of generalists aren't quite the same. Being a generalist in a 10k person company feels different from having to do everything alone at a 5 person company.

I think some heuristic like "earn double a FAANG income" isn't going to go over well with companies that are getting off the ground. Are the companies stupid for not paying that? Maybe sometimes. But there are definitely way more companies willing to hire someone at $200/hr than at $500/hr.

The calculations are just different for the companies. An operation spending $1B gains a lot by shaving off 1% (and small improvements are not strictly in the domain of specialists). But a new venture with $0 in revenue may have a very real risk of running out of cash one day, even if their product idea is great and well-built. "Hire the best people in the world" seems more prudent for a company who is certain it will pay off.

But to be fair, I guess one should occasionally try asking for high amounts anyways. I think jaquesm had recommended aiming to have 50% of your clients turn you down on the basis of price, to find the sweet spot for a rate.
EE isn't necessarily harder than CS, it just really depends on the school. CS degrees are extremely variable while engineering degrees are much less so. I agree with the rest of your argument though.
As a purely hypothetical, counterfactual mind game, how would you adapt your position if Russia were winning the ground war, economically stable, and firmly behind both Putin and the war?
Wow! No, probably not. I don't scan macros or other plugins.

I only have 1 recommendation right now and it's super simple: look at formula references to find interesting cells then check for a label to the left.

It's all heuristics and easily broken. It doesn't need to be perfect to help though.

Sidenote: I can't believe excel formulas are Turing complete now! Excel is truly a beast!

Man we are living the same hellscape, I had an offer rescinded a couple of weeks ago, been interviewing since April. Got to so many onsites and passed a bunch of hoops only to get "we paused hiring", "we are rescinding your offer", or sometimes just get ghosted.

The tech recruitment process is clearly broken. Companies have left this as an afterthought, its so clear to anyone interviewing that entire recruitment departments are doing the most and putting devs to hell for it
If you’re looking for a vitriol target I’d spend a lot more time looking at VS Code which has basically eaten the lunch of FOSS while dressed as a sheep than a commercial tool which has always been commercial (even if the source is available under a very reasonable license).

I’ve been wondering if you could tell the dealer that you’d like to finance and then just pay the loan off in the short term, whether it be immediately or in a matter of months, or if there are normally provisions in car loans that prevent that?
