Market cap isn't the same thing as revenue. Their annual car revenue is somewhere in the neighborhood of $100B a year, which still is the lion's share, but anything that generates 5-10% of revenue isn't something to ignore, especially when you have a couple of those. Apple's Mac sales are only 15% of their iPhone revenues, for example.
The range posted is usually just the base pay. For most public companies the total compensation would be ~60-80% more because of the stock. For senior positions, this would sometimes be 2x.
I used ProtonMail for a few years, but ended up switching to FastMail. Too much became too difficult due to the full E2EE, especially the calendar app was impossible to use together with other apps or even other people.

The email app was _fine_, but not great, and again E2EE was difficult to use with other apps. Especially on desktop I like using a dedicated app, and their bridge just never cut it for me in terms of stability.

The VPN worked well! I ended up switching to Mullvad, and have now moved to Mullvad-over-Tailscale, which works alright.

I never used their password manager (very happy 1Password user), their cloud storage (content with my Syncthing setup).
Got that from the context but not really how it ties with the riot act.

Hm, is this the right take? The YouTube player is embedded on the page, giving the creator YouTube views and more exposure. And I think when a person uploads to YouTube the idea is their video will be out there - including in embeds on 3rd party sites.

I just wouldn't use the word "siphoning" here. There are countless blog posts, news articles, how-to guides, etc. that will embed a video like this yet also provide supporting text for readers. I think it's a pretty normal way of sharing content.

I for one am not a person who learns by watching videos, step-by-step guides work better for me. The idea that all those video tutorials could be made available as text-based guides sounds actually very useful - and I would still be very aware of who originated that content as their video is embedded right there.

It would actually be great if when I search for a tutorial and the most relevant result is a video, if my browser could summarize that video the way search engines summarize results at the top or in the side bar.

The solution is not to provide assistance to underpaid illegals. Better to penalize the company for hiring and underpaying them.
C# is mostly adopted by large, hugely profitable companies which were penetrated by Microsoft sales teams, whereas Ruby companies are the opposite - startups which have made it past the startup stage. Some of them are successful, but majority are small and not that profitable.

Straightforward? I very much disagree.

You could maybe convince me that it is straightforward when measured against only corporate speak, but if not looked at as corporate speak it is very much not straightforward. Straightforward would be an explicit "Yes, we train from public code regardless of the license"

What may really blow their mind is that there are open source tools that cost even less. Zoho is a good choice though, their CRM was not the best but got the job done. Has a good API. Haven’t tried their other tools like docs or mail.
Privilege is partly about autonomy. If most of my problems are outside my near-term control—my family, my neighborhood, my medical situation—I have low autonomy, at least in the moment. And that makes everything much harder. If you want to see a ruthless maximizer, go watch a poor person feed their kid for the last three days of the month.

If all of that is sorted, I can now turn to applying my maximizing attention to my inbox or my personal health score or my friend-influence index or my standing deadlift or whatever else.

I just took the plunge and moving off the MS suite to Proton. It is little bit less polished but it serves my (basic) needs. And no more worries of being locked out of everything should MS decide I`m violating their terms somehow.
I don`t use a custom domain for privacy reasons so no experience there. They don`t offer excel/sheets kind of stuff but for my personal stuff I don`t need that anyway. I like the authenticator/password manager more, it allows for saving arbitrary notes which I like for the odd governmental acces code that needs saving. The vpn is way better than NordVPN which I had before. Connects faster, and connection feels faster. No hard numbers to back that claim though.
The calendar works well with invitations from either Google and Ms, better so than the MS offering actually.
For me a perfect fit but ymmv ofcourse :)
I tried after they introduced the family plan, then gave up after a few months since most of the products were (at least then) extremely half baked and missing what were to me key features.

VPN was great, no issues.
Calendar was pointless; no way to sync between Google calendar updates; you could import your calendar from Google, but as soon as someone changed an event Proton Calendar was out of sync and you wouldn’t know unless you check in on Google Calendar, thus making Proton Calender pointless.

Proton Pass seemed good except it launched with no way to use it on an Intel Mac. So unusable for me since one of my machines is an Intel Mac.

Drive I tried out but since there wasn’t a way to view photos like their competitors at the time I never did much with it.

Mail was good for years, but the family plan was enough for me to give up. There didn’t seem to be a way to share an email domain with my wife and have each of us be able to access an email on that domain (e.g. wife@example.com on her account and husband@example.com on my account).

I think Proton has good services once they mature but they had a spate of releasing half-baked products.
I'm assuming your language has types which don't have default values because default values for every type are a billion dollar mistake that no modern language should have.
We implemented an in-browser Python editor/interpreter built on Pyodide over at Comet. Our users are data scientists who need to build custom visualizations quite often, and the most familiar language for most of them is Python.

One of the issues you'll run into is that Pyodide only works by default with packages that have pure Python wheels available. The team has developed support for some libraries with C dependencies (like scikit-learn, I believe), but frameworks like PyTorch are particularly thorny (see this issue: https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide/issues/1625 )

We ended up rolling out a new version of our Python visualizations that runs off-browser, in order to support enough libraries/get the performance we need: https://www.comet.com/docs/v2/guides/comet-ui/experiment-man...
This is classic Goodhart's Law stuff[1]. The key takeaway is that any company that implement these kinds of incentives doesn't actually give a shit about customer experience, they just like to play pretend.

Just in case people didn't know, the phrase "all rights reserved" does not have any legal consequence (in the early days of copyright people felt it was necessary, but all rights are automatically granted), and uploading content to Github means that you must also license it to Github and other Github users as per the ToS. It is your responsibility to ensure that you can grant that license.

https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t...

In addition, one has to consider whether the act of studying a project whose sources you have legally obtained to gain experiences applied in other contexts where the original license may not apply or be upheld is an issue. This applies to humans as much as to ML.
One thing I've learned when dealing with cheap PoE CTV cameras, is that there really are only a very few IoT chipsets for various things, everyone seems to be using the same ones (except for a subset of boutique ones reusing off-the-shelf more complicated ARM processors or Raspberry Pis or whatever).

I'd love to see that more standardized and things like OpenWRT for all sorts of IoT junk, giving back control. Opinionated things like Valetudo https://valetudo.cloud
That was also the case for me (FF for Android), and I eventually found that I have WebGl disabled by default. Everything worked as expected after I resumed. FF animations run quite smoothly. Good work for developers.
No complaints. Good for de-Googling. Been using them for several years now. Watch for special offers - you can occasionally get good deals on the Visionary plan.
Now I suppose it's the chance for Github to publish a "we did it first!" blog post (as is common for Gitlab to publish)
I am actually moving from Proton to iCloud. I find using the bridge and custom iPhone app a bit of a pain in the ass. Not to mention, once the emails are in there, you have to figure out how to get them back out.

The security was good, but I find it more practical to just use iCloud. The VPN was nice, but for everything else - I have 1Password, etc..

Look into the lock-in, I was able to sync my mail out over several days using the bridge but some people have had issues getting their email back.
It might actually be a good policy to de-fractionate jobs. A fast food store will take what could be ten full-time positions, and break those up into thirty part-time positions. It could be mandated that if the total hours of the business's part-time positions are some level above one or more full-time positions, that they must hire the full-timers. While some would no doubt still complain, this should be an improvement for most and business's can't make honest claims that they're suffering economic penalty.

I use the mail and VPN, and they both work nicely. Proton pass seems nice, but I'm happy with Bitwarden. I've yet to try Proton Drive, but I actually use very little cloud storage. As for calendar, I just use macOS's built-in calendar and actually bother to set appointments with it about three times a year. I'm not exactly Type A.

Proton's offerings don't stand out, they just work and I forget they're running. "Boring" is pretty much what I want from such services.
I use protonmail, it's great aside from a few occasions where my personal communications went straight to the recipient's spam folder.
The VPN is fine, works basically as expected.
The password manager, calendar, etc, I've never used.

Russian court sentences Meta spokesperson to six years in absentia
~5 years ago GitLab had many features that distinguished itself from competition, chiefly their CI/CD stuff. It was leagues above of what everyone offered.

They've spent the last years building stuff I don't care while not improving the stuff I care. During this period, GitHub built Actions.

Nowadays GitLab is more expensive than GitHub (GitLab Premium vs GitHub Enterprise) while also not having any particular feature that makes me want to use it over GitHub. If I was starting a software team today, there is no reason I'd be using GitLab.

In the long term their strategy of having too many half assed features might bite back instead of generating revenue streams.

I've been with them for a couple of years now, and happy. I get the VPN on my plan too, which saves me paying for it elsewhere, plus I trust Proton already.

In terms of e-mail, it's pretty good. Nothing special, but the fact that it's E2EE and they've figured out a way for me to still search the contents in the browser is pretty cool. I use it mainly with Apple Mail though.

I don't use the calendar and contacts. Not sure why, but I remember I tried them and they just weren't as useful as Google's.

https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/read-the-riot-act-mean...

According to that, the Riot Act was an English law that was actually read to protestors ordering them to stop what they were doing, and threatening that if they did not stop, they would be executed.

So, metaphorically, reading someone the riot act is a threat that if the behavior continues, there will be severe consequences.
In Poland, according to official government stats, 60 year old men will, on average, die at 78 year old. 60 yo women will, on average, die at 83 year old.

We have plenty of Europeans in big tech, though the usual path is either through attending university in the US or intra-company transfers. You can get a job directly if yoy are extraordinary, but I have not seen that happen very often.

Wanting to grow isn’t a bad thing, the excess falls on the execs who approve the budgets. If your team has good economics then you should grow, if it doesn’t then the execs shouldn’t be funding it.

56% of Apple's revenue is from outside the US. 38% of Boeing's revenue is from outside the US. 58% of Caterpillar's revenue is from outside the US. (Those are the first three companies I checked.)

If American companies took the attitude "America #1, we don't need foreign customers," I don't think you would like the impact the resulting revenue loss would have on the American economy.

Even more honest would be “on one particular microbenchmark that everybody optimizes for”.

That said, this seems like a really cool project that could have some real value! It still fully depends on having the full CPython runtime environment, but that means it could work correctly with most existing code and libraries (including numpy and script).
The flex reply here is to say how much value you created with your small team. Everyone is familiar with Instagram being acquired for $1B at 13 employees, and that track record would be sufficient to carry you a long way even if you did nothing more after.

If that doesn’t work for a given company, well, interviews go two ways :)

I agree. Given the effort that has been put in to ensure code isn't copied verbatim, I don't see much of a philosophic difference between a human doing it or AI doing it.

That said I think it's weasely that they would just explicitly say it. It's obviously a question a lot of people have if it's in the FAQs, and a non-answer like, "we never train on private code" is ridiculous.

I'm sorry you had this experience. We had several instabilities in Q4 as the system became popular. That was the one of the reasons we called it "preview" until we got stability to where it needs to be. We are also very transparent about every outage - see neonstatus.com and highlight even the smallest ones.

We are also iterating over prices - we were purely consumption before and realized that we need to offer $19 pain plan to start based on the value our customers get. This is in line for what other devplatform charge for using their services.
