What amount would these EU fines have to be to make companies like Google and Facebook decide to exit the EU?

When I was working in Redmond I never used IE once.

I wonder if losing weight over the course of the run itself means that it got easier for him to move near the end (of course offset by the tiredness/fatigue) - I wonder if the effect did slightly cancel out?

How much weight did he lose? It's quite amazing how calorie dense our energy storage mechanisms are.

What I've personally noticed is that for people like us ("special snowflakes"), the ads still work but at a subconscious level. When you are evaluating products in your "research" phase, you aren't doing a comp

No, that's a misunderstanding. It says you can't come up with a general algorithm for arbitrary programs to detect whether they will halt, it says nothing about particular programs.

Calling this a "real world application" is a big stretch imo...Javascript's problems really come to the forefront when implementing complex logic in the backend - Rust's excellent type system helps a lot with that. Howev

This is why the argument about "weak" hardware makes no sense. A GPU from 2008 is at least an order of magnitude worse in peak perf than a modern "weak" GPU.

Well from experience of being an undergrad and going to career fairs, this assessment is spot on. You don't realize this whole thing is bullshit until a few years into your career.

Detestable isn't a strong enough word.

Of the companies that gave me offers in the last few months, none of them even knew I had github projects until I brought it up with them during the interview process. I mention these github projects on my resume in a separate section - its

It's wild to me that people think that Elon might actually face legal consequences for this. The Delaware court isn't some magical place run by elves. It's a court in the US. You know what's a lot cheaper than $34 billio

I don't think that's irony. Just shows you that the state of web-dev has not settled to a global minimum. Lots of local minima that different people prefer for different reasons.

Google has turned Google Search into a walled garden by scraping people's content and serving it up on their own platter. Is anyone going to stand up to them?

Generally this argument holds very little water beyond making a gotcha-style bad-faith argument. People understand that murder is illegal - but life isn't just two states. Alive or Dead. If we were living in 20,000 BCE then maybe we co

I think its better to rip the bandaid off using this approach rather than suffer through another few years of these scams and trash. Just declare this whole crypto thing as a failed experiment and move on.

that reasoning is understandable actually. Given Google's success, maybe this is the right way of approaching the hiring process over the long term at the scale of tens of thousands of employees. However, that kind of culture is just n

Had a similar experience. The recruiting part of the process went pretty smoothly, until I got to the onsite. Had 5 on-site interviews (excluding lunch), all exactly the same format: walk in the room where my interviewer is waiting with a q

This comment itself might be the "real" gold, if in a 100 years, we actually make no material advances in experimental physics and the state of the art remains. I would bet that it's quite likely, unless somehow we achieve co

This is a myth. It doesn't matter if you ask "questions" but implement an n^2 solution. Unless you implement the optimal solution, usually using a top-down DP or some array trick, you aren't moving forward in the intervi
