Depending on where you work, if you're a great developer then the income can be around 2500-4500€ a month take home, which is 40k - 90k eur (gross, not payroll) a year. Considering the average (and very liveable) salary is 1100€ take h

Keep in mind that most taxes and benefits are missing there, so it's better to consider US salaries as payroll costs in Europe. In my fairly liberal country (Estonia), 75k eur a year renders around 42k eur a year take home, really grea

You know it's all for show when the employees actively celebrate ICE contracts for $56k, and when minorities use the word "nazi" to describe far right protesters they are fired as a kneejerk reaction.

You don't even need payment problems, someone can call into the support and have your account disabled. My mom's Apple account was disabled with the same message, thought it was billing related as well. It turned out that someone

Most of money today is from issued loans. The worst that happens is like the fears in 2008, where the loans (or the assets bought for those loans) are worth a lot less, and hence a lot of money will be as well.

For me, their time estimation has always been terrible and dishonest - they routinely estimate 25-35 minutes for places that almost always take 70min+, on really busy days for really common orders.

Not specific to schools, but Japan is still racist to anyone who is not Japanese, very intolerant to plus-size people, and intolerant to anyone with a differing opinion - those who don't participate in the general groupthink, which is

Maybe it's just the weird intolerances - but Japan seems to have much worse and bigger intolerances than anywhere else.

No, cars haven't been good enough for years. There's tons of fuel savings technologies being developed and added to reduce carbon emissions and pollution as much as possible (widespread turbocharging, start-stop, mild hybrid and f

Robots are the goal for Tesla - no labor laws needed for them (probably not for people that build them as well)! All jokes aside, Hyundai can probably do much more with Boston Dynamics than Tesla. Tesla has already failed to automate, using

Diesels sometimes command a 30-40% price difference to petrol engines in Germany thanks to the bans and the stigma - perfect if you're living in Eastern Europe and willing to import.

"Thought" would indicate it knows what the words mean - I highly doubt it, even with the massive size of the network. It just knows which word is coming next, given the previous one.

The approach they show in the end - it's still machine learning though? Exploring a space and finding parameters to optimize for a loss function (speed around the track), just not deep learning with neural nets.

Sketch Cloud seems very similar to Zeplin, which still has limits to collaboration compared to Figma. Also, the focus still seems to be on the Mac app, everything goes through that. That's still a big hurdle when it comes to collaborat

Safari is plagued with these issues, it's the new IE. The whole focus seems to be on implementing privacy features to advertise Apple's privacy focus. CSS bugs are not fixed and newer APIs are not implemented.

Yeah, this was my exact goal with this. Though after dogfooding myself this for a month or two, I've found it useful during stay-at-home orders, since work time can blend into personal time so much more easily.
