I got two of them, and I was like "Test works."

Yes, that was my point--when the author said spatial audio was not bluetooth compatible, they were likely confusing that of Lossless HD Audio.

> No idea where the author got the information they wouldn't. Being misinformed. Apple Lossless HD Audio, which was recently announced, is not currently supported by wireless (read: bluetooth) headphones.

I believe most major US professional sports have players unions, which provides minimum salaries that are livable. Though I recall ~20 years ago that MLB players on league minimums (~70k/yr) were able to collect state unemployment bene

There was a part in the article about cyber criminal gangs having a steady stream of cheap programmers. Presumably there in cities with "drug problems", there are also a steady stream of relatively young kids with limited options,

> The idea that you run into a problem and use Google to solve it hardly constitutes skill development. Until you come across people who can't even do that. I'm unsure of your age, but I was a developer before Google was a thin

This reminds me of the story in Freakanomics about the street level drug dealers making basically minimum wage, with the majority of the money going to high level traffickers who are typically firewalled through layers of middlemen.

A $40,000 EV that you only need for 1/2 the year makes terrible financial sense.

I can see that view point. I don't share it, as custom ECM tunes that increase performance (with the same "hardware") have been around for a very long time. Also things like OnStar, and SirisXM Along a similar vein--Nvidia ar

Why not avoid a car all together, and invest the ~$50,000 then? Even though VW's solution may be cheaper for many, the way it's being portrayed feels more scammy.

At 8.50/hr, that gives you about ~53,000 miles of autonomous range for the same price as Tesla's add-on price for "full self driving ($10k surcharge). To me, an upfront $10,000 surcharge seems less scammy than what VW is offe

Have you tried the new chromium based Edge?

Never microdosed (or macro for that matter), but nothing comes close to the elation I feel when I play with my kids at the park.

That isn't entirely true. There are instances where there is bona fide qualification for being a specific gender. It's not common, but does exist. Megan Fox will not likely win a lawsuit alleging discrimination based on EEO Law if

If I were to attend job fairs at a number of top Chinese Universities, with headcount to hire 10 students, would I be in violation of EEO Law? What if I had 2 head count, and I first posted to an internal job board before posting to our pub

It's really hard to prove that you were not hired based on your race.

> [Damore] was asked to privately(?) provide his thoughts to the company(hence while employed and on company time). Except that wasn't why he was fired.
861.
by balls187 5y ago
> People at Google regularly expressed far more controversial opinions than Damore's using company resources on company time. Do you have proof of this?

by balls187 5y ago
I don't have all the facts, but this article [1] seems to refute your accounting. The memo was initially sent to Diversity Training, then after a non-response, Damore himself circulated to a wider internal audience. According to Google

That is an absurd argument. Replace "Jew" with "Krogan..." The blog post took aim at Jewish people, not the policies of Israeli government. Even it's title "If I were a Jew" is problematic. https:/&#

I think the point being made was Damore's email was sent using company resources, while employed by the company, presumably on company time. Bobb's blog post was from 2007.

Are serious miners buying supply constrained GPUs?

by balls187 5y ago
That shouldn't be a much of a surprise; the US has always aligned itself with protecting it's oil supply.

Agreed. When I searched for an answer to "What do I get with a subscription?" It was "oh source code files."

They're not. Read the preface, while the intended audience is all soldiers, the manual is geared towards trainers. The value isn't in the content of the publication (hence why it's public), it's in the training that sold

> ...there needs to be at least some value proposition. This is spot on. I'd recommend signing up and completing a relatively well-known coding bootcamp. Edit to add, in 20 years a lot has changed outside of just specific CS skills:
