> Pay in low-COL satellite offices of big companies isn’t massively different from pay in Silicon Valley (averages are more different as more senior people will be in the main office) Software engineer pay is quite different, between, sa

Nobody wants attrition, but it does happens. In the long term competition for WFH jobs is basically by timezone rather than by geo area. That means as an employee you're competing against a bigger talent pool, and as the workforce rene

I think it's too early to tell what's going to happen with silicon valley companies. The chips are still way up in the air. They profess a return to office, and many people can't wait to go back. But there's also a lot o

I think it's possible but it's also not clearly borne out by the data yet. What came out was that TikTok was "most downloaded", but that is in part because they've been paying $$$ for user acquisition through ads. T

One thing to watch out for will be the treatment of divisive topics. It's eaten up so much of classic social media players because divisive content does well in terms of raw engagement, but it's not been my experience on TikTok. I

Why have this fake deadline at all then? That sounds like it is playing fast and loose with the system, since it practically requires a nontrivial action to postpone.

Do they readjust down when the market goes down?

Why isn't the "market area" that sets pay levels for a remote worker defined by timezone, not by CBSA? After all, from the work-being-done perspective, a remote worker in rural Oregon is the same as if they were working from

Cost of living adjustments aren't necessarily fair either. Between two office workers who do the same job in the same location, should the one being thrifty by choosing to live in a lower cost area farther away from the office be paid

Who pays the most?

In theory yes, in practice I've observed many seasoned software engineers operate without being paranoid enough about the fact that APIs they publish can be hit by clients other than the one they designed.

by ridaj 5y ago
The other big push for APIs comes from mobile apps, which also tend to follow a model close to the web's single-page applications. Would be good to have a reliable setup to do this from iPhone and Android devices.

Maybe more the opportunity cost of being an egotistical douchebag? It's amazing to see the stories in the magazines talk about the tech and the future of work, but gloss over the world of hurt this guy appears to be leaving in his wake

This is very sensible. One challenge is to encourage cooperation. One interesting aspect of strategy is to prevent findings to be used in court. For example, findings of probable cause by the US NTSB cannot, by law, be admitted as evidence

I think the problem here is democracies attempting to exercise restraint in response to popular concerns about overreach. I'm pretty sure the more effective response from a public health standpoint, and probably the starting point of t

I would say yes it's now possible to do analytics without cubes, except when butting up against two things: * Really big data (~ PB/day), which makes it impractical to process every analytics query by going back to the source * Us

It's somewhat surprising for a radio amateur group to take it upon themselves to complain to the FCC about interference to a whole bunch of infrastructure-critical systems like satellite positioning, air traffic control, etc. Sounds a

Idk about Windows but yes the App Store has been doing it this way from the start. I suspect this is a case of Apple envy.

Right, it's not checked by the device. Its purpose seems to be more forensic: say an app version turned out malicious, and the developer said it wasn't me, Google was pwn3d and used my keys to sign malware. Code transparency would

The good: .aab can be optimized by the Play store for the device that is requesting them (for example stripping resources that don't apply to a particular device) The bad: it will be more difficult for non-Google app distribution store

I don't disagree with that. I am however wondering what is meant by "The older the kid gets the more problematic it all becomes". The grooming of short attention spans seems more of a problem for younger, more malleable brain

I'm confused by "the older the kid the more problematic it all becomes"... Older kids eventually turn into adults. Do you mean that tech in general is bad for people?

? You could've said that it doesn't have a screen. You could've said that it respects children's attention by not offering distractions on demand. It seems to me you can design a smart watch for children with these kinds
