This is ignoring the fact that the main reason retired phones are e-waste is proprietary firmware blobs and locked-down systems preventing users from maintaining their phone with security updates, and very limited support length from OEM&#x

That's not what it says though? There is no reason type 1 people can't be in an administrative position. It's merely hypothesising that since it is not their primary goal (but it is for type 2 people) that they will eventuall

That's like the cost of several used cars every year in the UK, or one decent one. Crazy!

How are you getting the thermal sensors out of china without running into the export/import restrictions on dual-use tech? Without correct import licensing I've been limited to 9fps and other restrictions (if I want to do it legal

Yup, on the order of below 100 Hz usually https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_low_frequency .

You can build it yourself and end up with a much smaller binary (and many more optimisations).

Can I just say that this is extremely impressive work for a master's level thesis. Incredible work and I hope you manage to continue fulfilling your fantastic potential in your career!

no. Most UK income statistics are based on total taxable income, not salary.

But would it actually help. More employees means more communication and overhead. Lean organisations can move much quicker. Part of why valve can do what valve does is how lean it runs.

You can usually find a way to get it for free or cheaper through a library, other institution or your employer if working in the financial sector or education.

Note that in the EU and UK mid-size has a definition: "fewer than 250 employees and a turnover of under €50 million (or a balance sheet total below €43 million)" Thus by definition that company wouldn't be mid-sized over here

Start-ups can pay very well, I'm not sure why you would think otherwise? Given a series A can be around the ten million mark, there is more than enough capital to pay competitive rates and still be small enough to have the flexibility

Thank you for explaining my point. The fact these two are orthogonal is exactly the point I was trying to make.

I mean we know the answer to this. As you go up the seniority ladder interviews become less and less onerous and at some tipping point are not required. Aqui-hires such as Alexandr Wang at Meta for example. Non aqui-hire we have for instanc

Except Doctors have to do that regardless. They can't choose a hospital that will hire them with 6 years of school instead of 12. A good engineer is likely to find an equivalent job with a shorter or less bureaucratic interview process

I am not talking about difficulty but length and bureaucracy.

The main problem is good engineers have no need to sit through your 12 step process. It actively selects only for the most desperate or money driven people (if you pay very well).

That's exactly quoted at the start of the article? "Problem-based learning tends to do worse than traditional schooling in medical education. An influential meta-analysis by Albanese and Mitchell, for instance, found that students

Except this is exactly the opposite of turning it into the hunger games. That would be a situation where failure is kept artificially high by high-grading/curve. This is not that. No one is intentionally lowering the quality of instruc

Whilst not commenting on that, a fascinating quote from the article you are replying to is: "Viner also oversaw the breakup of The Guardian’s celebrated investigative team, whose muck-racking journalists were told to apply for other jo

Hopefully better than support on their Jetson or orin boards, where compiling anything is hard because of the outdated stack.

Is that actually true? I was under the impression it was the opposite.

The profitability requirements are potentially being dropped. Consultation just closed and may be implemented as soon as next week.

You should probably mention that the working hours are 9-6, not 9-5 as standard. (or change you site if that is not correct)
