I’d also credit likely dyslexia for his ability to visualize.

I think the more important bit here is that the earnings reported weren’t typical and in many cases appear to be completely fake. The subscription model is egregious, and probably illegal in most states, but that’s not the main problem.

I’m glad this team was more concerned about science and minimizing risk than PR. Hopefully negative press doesn’t cause much of a hinderance.

I’ve been a hiring manager at both startups and FAANGs and code tests are absolutely useful. The only candidates who I have ever heard complain about them were ones that couldn’t pass and blamed others for it. Things like forgotten return s

There’s not nearly enough information here to offer advice - or to tell if the ban was justified. Why was the previous account closed? Generally I’d expect this to be an uphill battle and the best advice is probably to move on to a new plat

I wouldn’t count having nuclear power plants as being a nuclear state. There’s a world of difference between power plants and weapons. A war between two countries with nuclear weapons would be on a whole other level.

I found the best way to retain info, although it’s a lot of work, is to write down questions for myself as I read. Usually a bunch of fill-in-the-blank style questions. I don’t write down the answers as I’m reading though I sometimes put pa

The senate hearings are just theater. Important questions like this should probably be async - compel the companies to provide specific answers on the record.

I think this misses the point - the 9 to 9 point was probably just a distraction. Compare 4 day work weeks to 6 day work weeks. 50% more work days seems like a big advantage, even if workers only perform 3-6 hours of work per day.

38 hours (the estimated work week) is exactly half of the 996 week (76 hours) of some companies in China. I don’t think that’s healthy, but if I had to bet, I’d pick the 76 hour workers outcompeting their 38 hour counterparts.

I wonder how much this will cost consumers - probably a lot more than the $100m in annual fraud.

I think this is true when clarifying one’s own thoughts. If they’re notes from a book - a big chunk of what I use Roam for - they don’t act as memory aids, not for me at least.

I feel the author’s pain of not reviewing back links on Roam. But I think there’s a larger point to be made here: do folks review their notes at all? I suspect back links aren’t the actual problem. During undergrad, I found I rarely reviewe

I haven’t played much Tibia, but I’m fascinated by its camera/art style. As far as I’m aware, it was the last game to use the orthographic projection with a shear as popularized by the Ultima series. Folks seem to love it or hate it, b

I have fond memories of this being the final challenge of Zebulun[0]. They took a top performing program and gave specific requirements, like creating a vampire pit to trap the other program. [0]: https://www.ca-zeb.com/zebu

At $600m and most the way to being expired, I don’t think it makes economic sense to only target small players. A patent troll could also find novel ways in which a court might view these patents as applicable that Google and Apple missed.

A not tiny font size can help. Supposedly dark themes help, but I’ve never found this true myself. Honestly, I don’t think there’s any real accommodation needed here. As others have mentioned, it’s all about motivation. The longest books I

It seems a fairly accurate summary. DoJ was unlikely to win the appeal, so they settled. As a side not, that Wikipedia article is far from neutral: > … Microsoft responded that the company would offer manufacturers a choice: one version

Network stress can easily be unintentional. This seems to be a common factor in major outages at FAANGs. Something gets overloaded, fails over to another system that’s then overloaded, leading to cascading failures. There’s a big chance thi

It sounds like you have this backwards. Imagine getting paid $250 for an article and then having to pay $11k out of your own pocket so anyone can actually read it.

It’s probably still less than what an average adolescence spends on burgers.

I’d expect some were also sold with the seats, they just changed the default config. I wonder what the ratio was though.

By what metrics has this worked great? Genuinely curious as I hadn’t heard this before.

I can’t help but find this situation incredibly ironic. How much tax money do we spend propping up corn and the corn syrup used to make these sodas only to tax and try to discourage their sale? I wholeheartedly support this tax, but it’s an

I think an expanding sphere would be correct. My assumption with the cone is that, for visualization purposes, many outlets use a circle and make the 3rd dimension time, giving a cone. Doing this sort of visualization for 3 spatial dimensio

Most companies I’ve been at aim to error on the side of false negatives. With that in mind, not being guaranteed to pass the interview at your current workplace can be the system working as intended. It’s much better to have a false negativ

Sorry, this is super shady. So this will only help with your new license model if you’ve already upgraded to v4. If a vulnerability is found in v3, will there be a security patch? If so, how will you notify users that you’ve now encouraged

by harles 5y ago
The key issue is that the upgrade is essentially forced with no indication that it’s a major version upgrade or will invalidate the license. Going back to previous versions is a possibility but will require either permanently disabling upda
