I think this was brought up somewhere in a sibling thread. It would be great to have a more granular content restrictions framework that allowed for exactly this. But how to do this in a reliable, verifiable way sounds like a real challenge

I think there's some misinformation in your replies about how this rating can be used. As a parent, you can add screen time restrictions to your child's phone that prevent them from accessing apps that are above a certain rating.

Isn't it very similar for programmers? I don't get paid >100k for knowing how to create a button with boostrap and jQuery, but rather for the 1% of the time where I need to do something 1000x more complicated

I felt a tinge of sadness reading this. Len may or may not be Satoshi, and the article makes a strong case that he may be, after all. But it's really sad to lose such extraordinary people to mental health related issues, especially whe

In my career, I have met exactly one short fat engineer with >5yrs of exp that I was impressed by. That person is now a Product Manager at a FAANG company (albeit PM-ing highly technical stuff). I bring this up because I think there is a

I was thinking about the same thing. If the commitment of Microsoft is in question, there’s a good chance of increased resources by Dell, Asus etc towards Linux.

Well, kinda right? I think this may just be reflective of the long/fat tail of tech salaries. The second column in that table shows how many people exceed the prevailing wage by 20% or more. In the case of Facebook, it's just 47.9

Hey sisama, thanks for sharing this. So, I highly doubt if Software Engineering salaries would follow a Gaussian distribution. My guess is that it would have both a fatter and longer tail than Gaussian. Not an expert in statistics, but that

Skimming through the numbers in the article[1] linked to from here, it's very interesting to see the dynamic that Apple has managed to create around depreciation. A 2 year old iPhone can still be traded-in at roughly 50% of the value (

I don’t know whether you’re right or wrong, but calling someone a veteran based on 10 years of exp, and a director after 5 to 7 years sounds like a recipe for disaster. (Unless you literally started the company or something Like that). Coul
