I do not write much on Twitter, even less about career. But I think I found you on LinkedIn and added you there. Feel free to ask me about anything you are curious

I follow people I like to read tweets from. I don’t bother reading replies to the tweets I like. I don’t tweet much. I don’t participate in conversations. That’s it. Twitter is pretty great for me. It is the only social media that I use act

It is impossible to close the “Donate now” banner on my iPhone SE. It is too large, so the close button stays out of screen

In my view, I can see what is clear, to me, a right arm, a left elbow. I can also see the head, but that one might be part of the tree (actually, a wider wood board supporting the thin tree, like in other trees around), but it seems unlikel

What? Of course you can see it! Have you actually look at it?

Interesting, probably going to use it in the future. Feedback for fine tuning your analysis: Cyberpunk 2077 is probably on top of PC gaming for the wrong reasons

I think they are opposed. Writers hiding research secrets because they don't want to help the competition seems to be as useless as wannabe founders hiding their idea for a business because they are afraid someone will steal them. It i

Or, the alternative, is that yours (apparently) and gp’s point of view is not that common as you think it is. So it is not me that have to understand things, it is you that are wrong. Also, the mentioned example seems very implausible. What

That's not my experience at all. I am trying to start a new career as a fiction writer, and writers are very interested in sharing knowledge. I say this for both professional, published authors and wannabes like me. I was part of a lon

Big companies mostly only hire where they have offices, and almost none have offices in Brazil. So small startups that hire globally it is. I find these jobs in either HN's "Who is Hiring?" or AngelList.

There is a lot between "passable" and "perfect" American english. I have far from "perfect" English, but in all my jobs as software developer for american companies (3 so far), I got great feedback for my commu

It is a negotiation not a fairness discussion (even though fairness is part of the negotiation arguments). I asked about it in my current job before accepting the offer and was able to successfully negotiate it. In your situation, it seems

I wonder if it being so long is part of the filtering process. Only good recruiters will read the whole thing and bother to reply. I personally believe it is unnecessarily long, formal, and diplomatic. It does not fit who I am and, if I wer

It gets more tricky because, sometimes, the value of art comes precisely for negating what is commonly perceived as good quality for the majority of human individuals. And, after seeing that art, even the individual that used to give a lot
435.
by soneca 4y ago
I think they are orthogonal to value . As for quality, you have to define quality by any specific dimension; that's what the judge is judging. They define what quality is for them and then judge based on it. If that quality generates

I debate that a prize (decided by an art “judge”) represents anything of matter for the value of an art piece. Gatekeepers, curators and prizes are marketing tools, not necessarily relevant to the value of art. They are necessary for prom

Yep, the article has that “in the wild” clarification

Thanks for both clarifications. I should have done the math before asking.

I assumed the difference was more than that. So apparently the premise of my question was wrong. The topographic model seems to be enough for what I want
440.
by soneca 4y ago
Both. The overall shape and the mountains and ocean deeps. From your link, there is this "Topographic model" ( https://www.shapeways.com/product/Z4BFMJN63/topographic-eart... ), which is close, but it stil

I am thinking of a scale of how Earth is shaped (without the water). "Exact" was used in opposition to the commonly used perfect spheric models you can easily buy. I am not sure how precise you want me to define "exact",

Ask HN: Is there a globe with the exact shape of the Earth?

I agree, Dall-e doesn't seem to understand what "pop" is either. Thanks for the effort in indulging me, though! I appreciate!
444.
by soneca 4y ago
Thanks a lot! Hopefully I am not asking too much, but can you run the same prompts without the “make it pop”? So we can learn what is “pop”
445.
by soneca 4y ago
Have anyone given a prompt to Dall-e of designing a company website and included “make it pop!”? Maybe the AI will finally get what designers always complained about annoying clients.

This narrative consultant created a narrative narrating that a big company used a narrative to bring them more money to bring him more money.

Absurd analogy. My point is that I think it’s fair to pay less than regular hour pay when you are “waiting to work”. I also think it’s fair to pay more than regular hour pay when you are working outside of regular working hours.
448.
by soneca 4y ago
Yeah, makes sense. Forgot the detail that most of on call hours are not strictly working. So Google scheme seems fair
449.
by soneca 4y ago
I always assumed that pay for hours outside of regular working hours would be higher than regular pay.
