Monthly vesting without a year one cliff is not really done, AFAIK. I also don't think that there is a lot of wiggle room for negotiated severance terms. But sign on bonuses and 200k base pay could certainly be on the table.
Whether or not a deepfake is used for a parody is far less important than whether content using deepfakes identifies its artificial nature. Deepfake content masquerading as real content is actually dangerous and should be regulated as such.
But no, Jay-Z should not be able to take down parodies on YouTube that make it clear to the viewer that they are using deepfakes.
Are there startups working on food-specific robotics automation? I've seen things like pizza and burger preparation, but nothing I can think of beyond that.
Are there different tests for antibodies vs. active infections? Or is it just that if you have symptoms and antibodies, that means you have an active infection? For example, many of us who want to see family, etc. at some point may want to test to make sure we're not currently contagious, even if we don't have any symptoms. If we have antibodies and no symptoms, that doesn't necessarily imply that we're not currently contagious.
Very relevant to another article on HN today, "Why we can't build":
"The institutions through which Americans build have become biased against action rather than toward it. They’ve become, in political scientist Francis Fukuyama’s term, “vetocracies,” in which too many actors have veto rights over what gets built. That’s true in the federal government. It’s true in state and local governments. It’s even true in the private sector."
Not only is AR/VR not going away, but this time period is likely to be looked back at as a turning point for the technology where it began to slowly leave the "toy" stage out of necessity. Magic Leap spent too much money on tech and a market that weren't ready.
In my experience, there is a large range in the effort hosts put in, and low fungibility as a result. There is a bit of signal in the reviews, but not usually enough to be very helpful. Some hosts really do try to make it a hotel quality experience and sweat the details. On the other hand, a host once blamed me for not bringing my own bath towel after I was surprised to find that there were no towels at all in the unit, including in drawers and closets.
I hope he does, and in the process both increases his ownership of this fiasco and dispels any notions that his party still has any real support for "States' rights".
Back in February, there were a handful of cases popping up here and there. And then growing in each hotspot from 5 to 10 to 20, etc. It didn't take long for things to get out of control.
Without some major game-changer in the next two months, its hard to see a reason why the same thing won't just happen again. Hopefully over the summer it's not as contagious due to hot weather.
This is one reason why it's really not natural for some of us to do whiteboard coding interviews, or even CoderPad, etc. interviews. It's like trying to pee when someone is watching you, although that's not an analogy I would encourage job seekers to make to a hiring manager.
Perhaps this is a use case for a secure enclave, where location data is stored, a biometric authenticated authorization can be used for releasing it, and there is provably no backdoor for this feature to be used without the user's approval. I hope to see companies like AAPL address this in a way that solves for these types of situations without introducing draconian oversight capabilities.
Are tools such as homomorphic encryption, differential privacy, etc. applicable here? There should be a way for users to control their location data, and opt-in to sharing it at times like this, and then opt-out later.
This shouldn't be compared to a war, in terms of death count. We never want to take death lightly, but a large percentage of the deaths happening now are in people that are already very sick or old and likely to be severely affected by a number of health ailments and infections.
If 50 trillion dollars are "printed", then yes, the economy will appear to be growing purely based on the prices of stocks going up. Whether that represents real growth is another matter entirely
This is difficult point to make delicately, but there is a difference between a million young healthy men (or women) dying for their country, and a million people dying who are mostly at a much greater risk of dying from sickness compared to the general population.
Perhaps within the next five years we will see the number of deaths decline, as a pandemic results in people who would die in the next few years instead die earlier.
It will be interesting to see when this inevitably does affect political mobilization, or even just voting. There's a decent chance that we'll see some of this before the end of the year (and very possibly on Election Day).
