Nobody has built one in New York City but it should be fairly obvious that what’s engineered for a couple of hundred villagers will not survive hundreds of thousands of tourists.

I’m sure the living root bridge concept doesn’t stay within political boundaries, but also yes OP could have seen the faces of the people and not realized that people that look like that live in parts of India.

If you look at Google's stock price over Sundar's tenure as CEO you will see why it's very unlikely they "ditch him." Same thing happened with Ballmer.

20% of revenue really isn't that bad if it wipes the slate clean for a company like Facebook. It will cut their enterprise value by about 3%. Shareholders would be thrilled.

I feel like the human rights angle might add enough political capital to the economic argument (that we should have used 50 years ago) to stop the fucking CEOs from mortgaging the country's economic future for an extra zero on their bo

But back in the day people used to make all the parts by hand, right? And they still have to make parts when repairing old pocket watches, etc... how do they do it?

Do you need several-standard-deviation better than average fine motor control to mess with this stuff? I can't imagine successfully handling any of the pieces of the movement, so my "repair" skills would be limited to swappin

I don't. But based on their other prices and the complete lack of any competition here I'd guess about $40-80K.

Has anyone here had good luck with junior engineers working remotely? (I'm sure companies like Zapier have solved this). I've found that with senior engineers (defined not by the job title but the ability to take a coarsely define

Depends on the job. If a Pi 3 sized load then passive is fine. If you max out the hardware it will overheat and throttle though, unlike the Pi 3.

They were incredible back when they were private. Unprecedented level of transparency for a company of that size.

Terrible advice. A method perform one coherent action... if that action takes 1000 lines of code due to some wacky business logic, then the function should be 1000 lines, not split into multiple functions just for the sake of some weird rul

"For each lookup, we first find the desired city with a linear scan of all the city geofences, and then find the containing geofences within that city with another linear scan." Why wouldn't this be dogshit slow if they used

If you follow American football, your comment reads quite a bit like "Tom Brady has terrible throwing mechanics." Ultimately, it might be right, in some purely academic sense, but in a more relevant sense, good throwing mechanics

This is kind of a cloistered view. Many people work in environments where bandwidth is hard to come by. And, of course, on-site backups are always risky.

Why offer a trade? Why not just add the restitution to the full jail sentence?

Banning marathons to save one life just because they’re recreational? Would you also ban all books because people have died driving to bookstores?

The much-derided “execs” who demand time estimates don’t do so out of spite. They do so because their costs are measured in man-months, and a business needs to know how much something is going to cost to decide whether it’s worth building.

Many people have the ability to estimate non trivial software, given the number of software products which ship on a schedule and don’t slip. Things like features announced at big conferences. Granted, the companies that do this can add peo
