Perhaps trying to balance the “capture” of SV engineers? We wouldn’t want the world to fall over if the population balance got out of whack, right?

It's funny, because the received wisdom in the industry is that Apple behaves exactly this way. I guess not in their production environment!

I don’t understand how we can observe something (“warm spots”) that by its construction should be unobservable. If it’s observable, doesn’t it exist in normal time/space?

Yes, in your first example this is known as “value-based pricing.” However, when it comes to quantum computing, they may be trying to determine if your application is even relevant to their solution.

Google has specifically said it _won't_ do this sort of thing (health data will not be made available for advertising, either within Google or [obviously] externally).

This answer is fine as far as it goes, but it ignores the loss of precision involved if you iteratively compute with it. This does happen, even in contexts that NASA cares about. Hopefully they look for this, or they will find they've

Most everything has pros and cons but apparently Swift System has no cons! Amazing! “... provides idiomatic interfaces to system calls and low-level currency types.”

EV models of such vehicles are starting to be produced in "demo" models now, so it doesn't seem like a technical barrier to have them in mass production by the time this takes effect.

One thing people clearly step around discussing is that the darkness of your skin is literally one of the main UC signifiers. Lighter skinned individuals are assumed to be UC. So yes, this is a lot like racism in America.

At Google you get interviewed (usually only one round with multiple people in it) and then your interview feedback goes to a hiring committee and they make the decision. Could the hiring committee identify you as UC? Quite likely based on s

21 year old bug, and Damon Gallaty apparently still works at the company that he worked at back then, albeit with some changes to the name on the checks he gets. I have some serious feels for the guy, that had to have been a frustrating exp

Permits are often time-consuming to get and can be expensive. If you go shopping on price, you will likely find contractors who believe the best thing they can do for you is to avoid the time and expense. After all "I'm going to b

Hmm, glass half empty you mean? I mean yes, it sounds absolutely horrible. On the other hand, he recovered, married, has a child and is living "the dream" (independent consultant doing web/etc). He's also probably _reall

As the many responses indicate, you've set the bar way too high here. A more narrow question could be something like: "Did someone ever find an exploitable bug of the type it was intended to be safe from ?" In other words, a

This goes back to 10 years ago now. It’s nice to see some improvement, but 10 years ago there was very little interest in these sorts of problems. The literal response to FB performance tests was “you’re doing it wrong, don’t use a monorepo

Yep, and they've had to add support for several features that Facebook added to Mercurial years earlier.

I can't say for sure, but I'd be incredibly surprised if they weren't. What else would they be on? (Don't say Git, they tried to make Git scale for their monorepo and it would have required a lot of changes that the Git

Yes, all true, but let's not forget the overall context of the OP -- people's reactions to co-workers needing an extra day off. Deciding to uproot your life rather than take advantage of temporary company policies connected to the

I don't hang out much in BLM lands (way too noisy, way too much trash), so there's probably some nuance here that is lost on me, yes. What I mean is that we should take more of the set aside public lands and deem them off limits t

I think at the end of the day we need to reduce our BLM lands in favor of increasing our wilderness. The problems he describes are solved simply by not allowing people to RV, 4-wheel, or motorbike their way wherever they feel like. I run in

What's your point? Please connect it to the context of this conversation.

by sulam 6y ago
Let's not forget the context here. The context is people complaining that their co-workers are having to flex their time, or take extra days off over what they normally would. This is not about someone improving their life, this is abo

I think your argument lost the thread somewhere in there. I didn’t say the bizarre thing you are setting up as a straw man.

Moving because of the pandemic when it means moving away from jobs (and potentially a career in the case of a technical writer), family, friends you've had since childhood... It's not only not that simple, it's not even clear

Just keep in mind, those people working two full time jobs might be barely making ends meeting in Silicon Valley. Maybe one is a tech writer earning 5-figures and the other is a nurse with a schedule they don't control and that doesn&#

My bank is offering us refinancing options, but we're currently at 3% so it's not actually worth it. Our credit is excellent, but our loan is over $750K, and we live in the Bay Area.

by sulam 6y ago
Yes, even if you have less than excellent credit you should be able to get to 4% on your loan, even in the Bay Area.

Interesting, I haven't read that. However, I really think it's a stretch to assume that judge's are immune to presentation style.

I think it’s funny that he got through the whole article without using the term Elo even once. Maybe because “AI” and Elo are incompatible?

Listen, your idea is inherently viral, so if you can’t make it work, it’s probably because you’re focusing on solving the wrong part of the problem. Simplest solution: an app that texts my friends with an invite to an event, and has a link
