This might be super helpful for people who displace their phone with do not disturb turned on. Though I found the "make my phone ring" feature of locate my device sufficient so far as it bypasses silent mode. Helped me many times

It makes something terribly wasteful a little bit less terribly wasteful. Especially as the generated bitcoin "value" is still 99% speculation. That heat generation must have terrible efficiency ratios, electricity is the most ine

The company offers you 10k bonus with the condition that you stay at least one more year. Otherwise you have to pay it back. If you intend to stay anyway or are not so keen on leaving, why should you say no? It's similar to stock optio

That's not what he is talking about. You can also always quit your job in Germany. He is talking about payments that are conditional upon you staying at the company for a certain amount of time. Relocation bonuses and stock option vest

What is "Valles Heilung des bonus"? I'm German, I have never heard that and it brings up nothing in google. But yes these types of bonuses are common, especially as stock options with vesting. More so outside of Germany as fa

Same in Germany, but programming apprentice and computer science major is a completely different thing, afaik also in Switzerland. No one coming from 3-5 years of unpaid (and depending on country expensive) university is up for this kind of

It's a very basic filter for the right way of thinking. Even if you have never programmed it before you should not have any problem with it. I interned in a medium sized cloud company this summer and they require you to complete a home

He said it's overvalued, not that it's irrelevant. In your example you expect the mechanic to lock your car and keep the keys safe, but you don't expect it to be put in a walled in area with armed guards and full-time surveil

He should've joined as a dev instead of marketing. Access to so much more systems to begin with.

Growth at the inflation rate is at least important for employees in terms of pay-raises to actually maintain a stable standard of living.

I don't. But thanks for sharing, that's hilarious (for an unaffected person at least :D)

Thanks for sharing. I think it all comes down to the role and career path. Engineers that are specialized are way more interesting for large corporations, because they have a lot of engineers and most of them work on very specialized proble

This can't be upvoted enough. Makes me thinking that using published source code and reproducing/validating results is completely orthogonal. Maybe it's a good thing the source code for science gets not published.

Is it some kind of being nice telling people they are underpaid all the time just because someone else earns more? Let's be frank: Level of skill, experience (not just measured in years), productivity and (kinda important for salary an

My guess would be a combination of the relative closeness of the next airport to any given point in the Amazonas region and the flight time from London to South America being about 10 hours shorter than to Australia due to 5km less distance

I did parse it as top 10% among people interested in a topic or activity.

I think it helps in such cases to remember that just being in such a position puts you in the top and being mediocre across very talented peers is an achievement. It always helped me when moving up ranks in activities, when I hit my ceiling

It's a pragmatic choice for practicality, not an academic choice or even not a choice for quality after all. Nothing most professors would agree to.

Amazon has a lot of individual web shops as competition in addition to sites like ebay and rakuten. Also any serious classical retailer has an online shop by now and search engines like Google shopping help them to compete on price. Amazon

This is mathematically no different than using a larger int. Your second counter would store the more significant bits.

You can also force Googles language using the query parameter "hl". E.g. www.google.de/?hl=en returns English queries. That parameter is preserved through multiple querries, so you can use this in a bookmark and have multiple

If you have so many passwords, why not use a password manager? Also there are some ways to create memorable and long passwords. E.g. I'm using short pictureable phrases and their translation in another language, sometimes adding a nume

I wasn't sure I did understand the attack vector correctly and if there are some known vulnerabilities that make cracking this MD5 approach faster than brute-force. In other words I wanted to know, if my SSH keys with md5 algorithm are

Could you maybe elaborate why this would make attacks better than pw brute-force feasible? I get that this isn't a good practice, but plain brute-forcing a 20 character pw (~120 bits of entropy as alphanumeric, same as md5 hash size) i

53 bits of entropy is basically the same entropy as a 9 character alphanumeric password. That's not a strong password to begin with and makes this calculation senseless. Redo that calculation with 71 bits (12 char alphanumeric, still n
