Quora is terrible. The top answer is their resident bot account, for some reason. The question may also have come from a bot in the first place. The replies are interwoven with adverts. If the question is really from a person, there's no interaction for clarification or context. It's all noise.
but not between companies. Many a staff engineer has been down leveled quite a bit moving to FAANG companies, and they still get a raise.
Woosh. It was most likely facetious. The fact that one is Amazon and one is Microsoft is not a massive difference.
> ...4 or 5 players only... brought in a lot of help along the way.

Right, but at least it was that many. One could watch those same few anchors play together year-after-year for a decade or even longer, which is more than you could say about any other team then or since.

> ...players don't determine who your favorite team is. You don't stop being a yankees fan because derek jeter retired.

That is indeed how most people follow sports, yes. My point above was precisely that it's a bit silly to me. When Glavine and Maddux left Atlanta, I really did care much less about seeing the Braves play and win, because they were the guys that I most enjoyed watching.

hmm, china is perfectly happy to buy any semi fab tools from Western companies, 40% of ASML sales is to China. The fact that none semi tools company were any significance before the US sanctions is the proof of that. Not only are the patents, the market, talent, money isn't there to make it a sustainable business. But u block the sale, and go max pressure, u create a huge incentive. The engineers in these companies are super happy. Now, in 2024, Chinese semi fab tools companies are moving up to near top 10 global fab tool companies. I have no doubt we will see DUV and EUV fully running on commercial fab lines in the next few years.

"China doesn’t have have that either—the optics (mirrors), the light source, the masks, everything under vacuum" are you really sure about that?

Let me help you here, a lot of this stuff are in Chinese universities. But not commercialized, cuz there is no commercial fly wheel when there are perfectly fine products on the market. Now you just gave $1B dollars to these researchers to bring it to market. This will take time, but this is an engineering, iterate and trial problem, not inventing quantum mechanics. The demand is always there, people who get it get a life time of wealth, what do you think?

How well animals can learn human words could depend on how attuned their hearing is to EQ curves in the frequency ranges that articulate vowels, and such. To some animals that hear well into ultrasound, human speech might just be a low-frequency jumble.

According to some cursory web searches can supposedly hear past 60 kHz, possibly as high as 85 kHz, with a particular sensitivity in the 8 kHz region. That, to humans, is the start of the "air" frequencies where the sibilant sounds of speech are found.
Forgive me if I seem presumptuous in my advice here. You've done things in your career that I can only dream of doing. What I can say is that I've somehow managed to survive a quarter-century in a string of Big Tech companies without dropping out (yet).

It sounds like you may have been looking at the currents and picking the one that seemed best one to swim in. I found there's often -- but not always -- another option: build a dam. In other words, change it up. Alter the landscape. Seek to change the business in a way that nobody's been willing/able to do before. Looking back at my career I found I was happiest and most successful when I was able to tell my boss what I was doing vs. waiting for my boss to tell me to do something interesting/impactful/etc.

When that option doesn't seem to be presenting itself, it's probably time to move on. But I've found it's often worth giving it a try first.

A couple of times I needed to earn the right to create my own destiny by pushing through some grunge work, but once I established a degree of trust with my management chain, that was capital I could "cash in on" by proposing something big, new, and interesting. It never ceases to amaze me to see how boldness often gets rewarded. I just saw a co-worker of mine draw blood from a stone (funding-wise) by proposing something ambitious and controversial last week. Suddenly they're a TL of a new team this week. They've built a reputation for "just getting it done," so management has confidence in their ability to execute and drive results.

Whenever I'm starting to feel stuck in a rut, that's when I open a blank document and start hammering out a design for something new. I'm not even thinking about promotion when I do that. But somehow, somewhere down the road, either a promotion or a bigger opportunity with another company has always come of it.
If you draw the line at kids, then you'd better also draw it at any adult who may think like a kid in some relevant way. And there are a lot of them. Often these doubtful confessions are from intellectually impaired people, but there are all kinds of emotional and mental health problems that can cause people to not properly stand up for themselves.
The key is to say it in a base-M136279841 number system.

Because it’s legitimate in some cases. Obvious example is when you have an accomplice to a kidnapping in custody and time is limited.

Less convincingly, when you separate a group of suspects and claim that Kyle gave you up when he did nothing of the sort.
You've called me a lunatic, a child, and a clown.

Of the two of us which is more obviously unserious about our positions? Which is more able to speak clearly about them?

If you can't comprehend political analysis, why pretend to understand it? Just say you like the guy and if that makes you a fascist then you like fascism. It seems like you have a vague notion of what facism means and that it's bad - but the same people that you're calling a clown, a child, a lunatic, are the people that define words like "fascism" and imply it's bad. Why listen to us in one case and not the other?
They did all the analysis, they just chose to bury it at the end. These are their own numbers, not mine.

Palantir would more or less be as a part of the "government" if the Curtis Yarvin acolytes were to attempt and succeed at some form of Yarvinism next term. I think likely it would require replacing Powell, and maybe that can be stopped until 2026. But there's still an extremely frightening non-zero chance.
I can't tell you how much I _loved_ that accents from the voice actors were a part of it. It was the first time I truly felt like a _detective_ in a video game, stuck piecing together whatever I could from a painstaking analysis of the details in front of me.

That being said, I got stuck and brute forced my way to one or two solves, only to find out at the very end (talking to a friend who completed it) that I had missed a crucial and very helpful detail. Made it obvious that's why I was stuck trying to brute force, which was deeply unpleasant by design: the triple-match made that very tricky and only once I got the search set down a lot.
You must have seen the same demo that I did... when they were recruiting at a university jobs fair... ten years ago...

Something along the lines of: okay so you have this guy who's a criminal right? (expand node) here are his phone numbers (expand node) here are the phone numbers who called it (expand node) here are the phone numbers who called those numbers (expand node) here are who they're registered to (expand node) here are their addresses (expand node) here's who else lives there.

I still assume their special sauce isn't their ability to build a node expanding UI, but the data sources they have access to. If they're used for so many government contracts, they're definitely using the data from, say, one police department to inform another. So when another department wants data about criminals, they sign up as a client for the company where that data already is.

And don't discount that the government would pay a huge sum of money to build a surveillance state, even if that surveillance state turned out to be pretty useless.
If you think this is cool, then check out this guy that made additional dlc for some of the pokemon games that had new items and events distributed by dot card:

It's pretty cool as he covers using the internal api that the pokemon games implement to handle the dot card data as well.

i think the idea here is that a staff engineer should be identifying what needs to be done, figures out how to do it, works to push the team and project in that direction, and provides insight to the org as to how it is going
Is this a new style or is he trying to emulate something retro? (If it is the latter case, what was the convention at the time?)
Well, to be honest, I have never heard any of many FAANG turned startup founder friends told me that the want to build a life style business from the beginning. Every one wants to build a vc-backed startup with a home run idea. Many of them ended up building life style business because the markets of their ideas were actually much smaller.

If you do the math, climbing the corporate ladder at FAANG might have better ROI than running life style business. Of course, money is not the only consideration in life.
Presumably that they are all instances of the American government suppressing its citizens.

I wonder if this technique could be used in typical stepper motor controlled "step counting" 3d printers and CNC mills, to provide closed loop servo-like control? Have real time micrometer-precision measurements of your x, y, and z axis - and feed that back unto your control loops?
crypto is just a carbon copy of money with all the same downsides and upsides. It's like moving from Twitter to Threads: It's pretty much the same thing with only slight changes and a different guy/algorithm in charge.

This nonsense is why I think plea deals need to have no admission of wrongdoing. Which I know makes the name kind of vestigial but it's at least more honest about the transaction. Both sides are negotiating based on the perceived time and monetary effort, and chance of conviction.

Someone who is innocent may (unfortunately) find it their best course of action to take a plea deal and they shouldn't have to falsely admit their guilt to accept it. It's not perfect but it removes a lot of the coercive elements from the transaction.
I'm only partly convinced that bringing functional abstractions to various kinds of collections/iterators/enumerators, etc. adds value to Go, both in terms of reading code and writing it. That's pretty much as far as 'functional programming' goes when this topic comes up.

It brings Java libraries like vavr to mind. The concept has appeal if you appreciate the aesthetics of functional programming but your codebase will be filled with places where you have to convert between the sexy functional style and the boring shit in order to get anything done.

It's better to just roll with the language and stick to where it excels. It may not be as easy on the eyes and it may also be boring to write, but a lot less can go wrong with it.

I reckon that once the police start trying to frame a man for the imaginary murder of his own father, threatening to actually kill his dog sounds like the most drab of offenses Especially on account of that coming into play later.
Depends on how diluted the bleach is. Also 30 minutes may be more than necessary, but it's what I've always done for athlete's foot. For other random crap that's tries to grow on my skin I'll dilute some bleach on a paper towel and let that sit on whatever is trying to eat me.

The basis of this technique is that you have skin to spare, and your skin regrows.

When lies of that nature are permitted by law, it throws into question the entire legal process. How is a defendant to know whether, say, the plea bargain they're being offered by the DA will in fact be honored, when the previous (false) promises made by the police weren't?

If a company representative lies and tells me the product comes with a ten year warranty when in fact it's only five years, that's fraud. You'd figure a lie with bigger consequences (jail, etc.) would be considered worse than fraud, but surprisingly not.
he caught a rocket. Bro. He knows his shit.
They are considered somewhat differently which is why some statutes/laws have a clause 'or plead guilty to'.

I don't see how it removes in any way that the threat of imposition of the trial tax is a threat. If you can receive a 5 or 50 year sentence for the exact same crime, with the exact same circumstances other than taking a plea, the extra 45 years can not be considered anything but an explicit threat to take the plea. Or that pleas were considered unconstitutional at the founding of the US and only made legal in the 1960s.

The government only allows pleas for businesses that include a non admission of guilt. Admission of guilt is required as part of the Federal plea process, otherwise defendants could retain too many appeal rights (when you admit guilt from that point on you must prove a much higher 'actual innocence' legal standard on appeal and none of the easier standards like tainted evidence, corrupt officials, improper procedures can be applied to your case).

Untouched and out of range of all cellular networks (disregarding the SIM), most likely; we don’t know how long, though.

If your phone hasn’t connected to a cellular network in weeks and is locked in a stationary box 23.9 hours a day or more, then I’m not sure I would be surprised if it becomes automatically unreachable in this way eventually — it’s becoming unreachable any time it reboots for an overnight iOS update already, right? so an inactivity reboot isn’t going to have a worse impact than that already does.

(Note that physical SIMs were discontinued in late 2022 models, but it allows you to set an eSIM PIN with the same effect.)
You gotta have some whimsy.

Quick plug for anyone who may be interested in ham but a little intimidated by the license that’s required. Contact your local ham club or group (I guarantee you there is one). Ours had a fast track to getting people licensed. It amounted to a one day cram course immediately before the technician’s exam (the oddly named entry level license) with a 90+% pass rate. The philosophy is to get people licensed and on board and interested and THEN start learning. It’s kind of a counter intuitive strategy but it certainly got me involved where I wouldn’t have been otherwise.

I’d forgotten about math notes / assumed it only applied to handwritten notes so the first time I updated one of these notes after updating my iOS it was a little shocking to retype the = and have the difference generated automatically instead of having to figure it out on my own. I’ve been holding off updating my Macs, but I can see this feature being really handy as a sort of lite spreadsheet replacement.

This kind of interrogation is held at a police station.

They are recorded - a lot of countries outside the US actually require it be recorded and if it is not, the interview and anything said in it are simply inadmissible.

Even in the US, recording is standard practice for any meaningful felony. Unlike body worn cameras, it does not get magically lost, and when it does, the interview is generally not admitted, or a defense lawyer tears it to shreds if the detective tries to use his notes. While there are always cases of recordings "being lost" or whatever, the rate here is very low, compared to body worn cameras or anything else.

The case where they don't do recording is usually resource related.

There are around 20,000 law enforcement agencies in the US.
80% of them have less than 25 full time employees
15% of those have 1 full time employee.

While most still do recording, it might only be for major felonies or whatever because they don't have the manpower to have handle recording 24/7.

Given that, you won't achieve 100% compliance without something drastic (for example, funding and paying for 24/7 video recording in every department). Even there, at best you'll just end up with only the cases where software/hardware went wrong.

Note that i have no love for police (actually, much the opposite), but i'm also realistic - i'm not sure it's easy to solve the problem of having tons of small, low-budget police departments, be required to record.

(the UK, by comparison, has 43 regional law enforcement forces, and is down to 300 police stations or something like this)

It already does.

Combine with proper social policies that make it possible for families to live on a single income, and you can bet that most women will choose children over career.

> is that really the case? (...) where sunday work is already a reality.

Tell me what types of jobs have people willing working year round on the weekends. You will see that most are not doing by choice, but because of circumstances.
