100x'ers do exist. But by Lokta's Law, they occur about 1 in 10000. Usually, a 10x'er is only 1/100 so they are much easier to find. You probably know them as Fellow/Staff Engineers.

This can be used against them by updating uncompressible guassian white noise over and over... If what you said is true.

I like to know why you think things won't be better and for whom? How do you know it won't set a precedent in NZ? Or is the frame of context based on an American centric point of view? And that things won't be better for Kiwi

My personal take is that over all, `application specific` social platforms (SP) are working just fine like Github (SP for coding) and Yelp (SP for local listings). There's a general goal that people go to get the resources they desire.

Why `or`? why not all 3? Because FB's role in all 3 elections has been disgusting and has made modern election into a degenerative state than it once was.

Are you suggesting they aren't even aware of these issue because there's a big difference for one to look for answers and stay educated and one who chooses to stay ignorant knowingly. No one will empathize with the latter group be

Graduate courses are geared towards research and the generation of knowledge instead of just a consumer. It's probably the biggest difference most students don't get. Yeah, you can look up anything that someone else has done befor

I'm not sure if you crafted such an edge case to dispel the notion that a repair culture is bad or the repair culture doesn't always make sense. Because the latter is true since no one is pushing this out in an absolutist manner.

Is that the correct usage of 'at best'? Isnt that just minimizing the range of discussion? Shouldnt the objective range be: At best, she's a hero. At worst, she's a villain.

Does anyone know why Alt+D doesn't focus into the Address Bar anymore? (I thought the behavior was suppose to be like Ctrl+L) I'm on Linux.

He did lose his medical license but he's also 63. After he's out, he's most likely going to retire.

This is a big deal because the next barrier of greater use is for a dockable phone to desktop environment. You may not have heard about Dex, but Samsung has been pushing it since S8. This was the dream for window phones. You may not care ab

Let's not forget that Amazon Prime has gotten worse with longer delivery periods even when they say it's 2 days. It has been coming later. And this is outside the holidays.

Nothing is ever going to jump from 1% to 100% in the scale we're talking about aside from being just talking points. What's likely going to happen is the production will change slowly to meet the demand. But it's not clear if

Can someone help me understand the query part? It says that a query is done on each BF, even on the ones that were added after the initial storage. So suppose we have only 2 iterations. In the first BF, there's k0 hash functions and in

Not an evidence based paper, but via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotka%27s_law , the occurrence of a 10x programmer may occur 1/100 from the talent pool. A 28xer would mean 1/784. Now all this is only an ext

I'll give an example of a permanent username that you can't change: Steam. For obvious reasons, Valve is way too underhanded to do anything about this. Nothing malicious, just inept to try because there's just no competition

I found the following passage fascinating: "So later investigators began looking for behavioral correlates of serum urate level (SUL), and there are now dozens of studies on this topic (reviewed in Jensen & Sinha, 1993). They show

I'm not sure selling a phone that lasts 5 years is in the best interest of any phone company. And if it took that much just to sway you and company, then they might as well forgo this segment of the market because there are bigger fish

Wow that subreddit is just on a whole another level of projections. Posts often refer to Company X/Y/Z mistreating their employee so much that I have to teach them a lesson! Seriously, that doesn't justify your action to stea

I would've refrained from sharing if you hadn't mention project Fi. Me calling in to get my Nexus 5x fixed was such a piss poor experience that I would never consider them for mobile service again.

That's actually egregious. I was trialing the Amazon cloud service and it rolled over to a 60$ charge without any notification. And when it renewed a 2nd year, it also didn't send a notification. The Google method of sending a yea

Hold on there. Dropping that 2nd fact seems to be more race baiting than not. The indication of AA population shrinking could be explained by the increase of the AA population in neighboring counties. According to http://www.baya
