You're joking if you think 200k will get you someone who manages an entire group like Khan Academy. That's the amount of money new graduates make out of their college in FANG, and in no way is what Khan does comparable to a generi

...I mean that is true of a lot of apps on the App Store right now, I don't think developers are under any impression that they have to make every app open source.

The DJIA is not as good a metric compared to say, S&P500. It considers a 1$ move in any of the constituents in the same manner, so a stock worth 200$ moving up by 1$ is given the same importance in terms of points change in the index va

One thing common to banks (and in general, finance) is that a significant amount of your compensation is in year end bonuses. These figures are notoriously hard to get a hold of, and makes direct comparisons tough. Accounting for these bonu

Unsure how to tag people like dang, but is it possible to change the link or the title? The link is for page 3 of the review, which is a broader discussion about multi-threading on Windows.

How do you afford housing wherever you make $80k? Unless literally everything comparable costs 10x in SF, there's no logical way you can say 10x is the mark at which SF wages are pegged at.

https://trainer.thetamusic.com/ This is a really nice app that takes you through a lot of music theory. I would recommend using it with a good pair of headphones though.

As a weekend hack you could probably scrape cricinfo - used to do that with a shell script and the notify method in linux to pop up cricket scores.

There's almost no firm with a bar to entry as high as Rentec when it comes to hiring, and almost certainly none with the amount of people who have cleared such a bar. Some smaller firms still hire similar quality, but RenTec has been a

To be honest, as a part of hiring procedure, it has its merits. In an ideal world, you want to ask the candidates a problem that is well defined, and applies the tools that they might have learned in their past. This is why algorithmic prob

That doesn't make sense, 3mm and 7mm are length measures, not areas. If they were square, then you could fit 4 3mm's in one 7mm chips area.

Sure, but at the same time there is a real bias towards established methods and research groups. It's hard to find traction as a newly established group doing original research - and "impact factors" are highly overrated sinc

Yes, drastically. But with it you bring new fears of how that data will be used by the government. You could also achieve something similar by forcing all vehicles to have embedded sensors that real time share data.

The difference is usually in the kind of customer you wish to attract - in India companies tend to focus on lower cost to acquire customers, and this works just because of the sheer size of the country. You have cities with populations in t

Of course it's expensive for the majority of the population, but that's not the target market here. India has a population in excess of 1b, even 1% of that market would be a good acquisition for Netflix.
